Who We Are
At Rush Creek, we are a community built on authenticity, grace, and a commitment to reflect Christ in everything we do. Our core values, mission, and vision guide us as we strive to serve both God and the people He has placed in our lives. We believe that every individual is uniquely created with inherent value and dignity, and that true fulfillment is found in relationships—with each other and with God.
What We Believe
"Every person is uniquely created by God with inherent value and dignity."
"We are each designed to reflect the image of Jesus Christ —with each of us needing to accept his gracious and generous gift of salvation"
"We are created for relationships —with each other and with the God who created each of us."
"We learn, live, and grow in healthy community —each of us has something to offer to the communities in which God has placed us."
Our Mission
Authentic Relationships • Genuine Community • Reflecting Christ
We strive to be a place where relationships are strengthened. We aim to be people who authentically care about others in the places where we work and serve. We desire to be a genuine community, reflecting God’s love and grace wherever He has placed us.
We acknowledge that we don’t always meet these goals perfectly, but we remain committed to the pursuit of authenticity, community, and Christlikeness. Our mission drives us to continually encourage one another, draw closer to God, and become the people He created us to be. And we welcome you to join us on this journey.
