About Indian Creek Sermons (from Village Bible Church)
From the publisher's feed
Village Bible Church is a Christian, protestant, evangelical, non-denominational church seeking to make disciples of Jesus.
Our mission drives us to find ways to reach our community. In 2008, God called Village to a new vision through the adoption of two other area churches in Aurora and Shabbona. In 2013, God opened the door to the launch of a Spanish-speaking campus, and our El Camino campus was born.
Each of our locations are connected as one, despite physical distance, because each has a similar dynamic worship experience, including "personal touches" such as live bands and campus pastoral teams. The teaching pastors at each campus preach through the same sermon series bringing continuity across all locations. The pastors of all campuses meet weekly to collaborate with each other regarding ministry locally and church-wide.
People who attend Village Bible Church will find the quality of a large church with the intimacy and personal interaction of a smaller church.
