Join us we celebrate all God has done through Bachelor Creek in 2025!

The Wise Men remind us that finding Jesus requires intentional pursuit, real sacrifice, and wholehearted worship. They traveled far, gave their best, and left forever changed. This Christmas, the question is not what you know about Jesus, but what you are willing to give to truly encounter Him.

This week in The Characters of Christmas, we look at the shepherds and discover the radical grace of God. Jesus didn’t come for those who had it all together but for those the world overlooks. Their story reminds us that the gospel is for everyone… including you.

In week two of The Characters of Christmas, we look at Joseph: a man whose quiet, courageous obedience changed the course of history. When God disrupted his plans, Joseph chose trust over fear and faithfulness over comfort. His story invites us to release control, embrace God’s purpose, and follow Him even when the path ahead is unclear.

In this Family Worship Sunday message, we look at Mary—the ordinary teenage girl God used to do something extraordinary—and the very first “Christmas carol” found in Scripture. Through Mary’s faith, quiet obedience, and simple yes, we’re reminded that God prepares us in the quiet moments and calls ordinary people of every age to extraordinary Kingdom work. This sermon challenges all of us—from kids to adults—to consider where God is asking us to trust, obey, and say yes today.

In the Great Commission, Jesus didn’t just invite us to follow Him; He commanded us to make disciples. Through His authority and His presence, every believer is empowered to share their story and walk with others toward Christ. When we take this seriously, our neighborhoods become mission fields and everyday relationships become opportunities for eternity.

What if loving your neighbor isn’t optional, but the heartbeat of following Jesus? In “The Great Commandment” we’re challenged to move beyond good intentions and take simple, practical steps to love God and love people right where we live. When we do, everyday relationships can become the front lines of God’s transforming love.

This week in our First Things First series, we’re learning that putting God first changes everything. In “God First: The Blessing of Right Priorities,” we see how trusting God with our finances isn’t about losing control; it’s about gaining freedom. When we give God our first and best, we open the door to His faithfulness and blessing in every area of life.

This Sunday we launch our new series First Things First with a message titled God Last: The Cost of Wrong Priorities from Haggai 1:1–15. When God gets our leftovers, everyone suffers. Discover how misplaced priorities lead to frustration, and how putting God first brings purpose, peace, and blessing.

Many people today believe that all religions lead to the same destination—that sincerity is enough to reach God. But Jesus made a different claim: He is the way, the truth, and the life. This Sunday, we’ll discover why following Jesus isn’t narrow-minded; it’s the only road that leads home.
