Our family had tried out so many local churches trying to find a good fit for everyone. We finally came to Church at the Creek, and immediately all felt this was it. It has been the most welcoming church! My husband and I love Pastor Mark’s sermons and how we can apply his messages to our lives. Our children enjoy the youth group and look forward to church every week! This is a place that fills our spiritual cups every Sunday.

For the past 5+ years, Church at the Creek has truly been home for me. From the very beginning, I was welcomed with authenticity, kindness, and a sense of community that is hard to find these days. This church is filled with genuine people who care about one another beyond just Sunday mornings. The teaching is biblically grounded, practical, and encouraging, and the atmosphere feels real and welcoming instead of polished or performative. Over the years, I’ve built meaningful friendships, grown in my faith, and found a place where I truly belong. I’m incredibly thankful for this church family and highly recommend Church at the Creek to anyone looking for a church that feels like home.

From the moment my husband and I walked through the doors (almost 34 years ago) we felt welcomed and loved. We were looking for a church to raise our young family in. We found it at Church at the Creek. It has become more than just a place we attend on Sundays — it has become a family. The worship music is powerful, the messages are rooted in truth and grace, and the people truly care about one another. Through prayer, encouragement, and authentic community, my faith has grown stronger and my relationship with God has deepened in ways I never expected. I’m incredibly grateful to the pastors, leaders, and members who pour their hearts into serving others so faithfully. If you’re looking for a place where you can encounter God, grow spiritually, and feel genuinely connected, I recommend Church at the Creek.

I truly Love this Church!!! I have been a member and attending for close to 27 years now. We have gone through a few name changes but, as you'll discover, the church is more about the People and Not about the Building. We are a Family friendly inter-denominational, Bible Based church that believes we are a Place to Belong, even before you Believe. We welcome Everyone! Our previous Pastor retired several years ago, and we are SO fortunate to have our new Senior Pastor Mark Riggins who is a True Blessing!! Sermons are delivered in a way so that New Believers, and more seasoned Believers will Both Benefit Greatly. We Share Jesus and Build Believers. We would Love to Welcome you and your Family and have you Join us as we continue to Grow in Christ.

This church is more than just a place for followers of Christ — it’s a welcoming community for anyone seeking to learn more about Him, reconnect with their faith, or simply explore spirituality for the first time. The staff, volunteers, and members genuinely care about people and make you feel accepted from the moment you walk in. The kids’ area is amazing for all ages, the music is powerful and uplifting, and there’s never any pressure or judgment. They simply create a space where you can be yourself, feel supported, and grow at your own pace. Truly a warm and welcoming church for everyone.

Church at the Creek is a welcoming place filled with caring people-both staff and congregation. The casual atmosphere , uplifting music, and modern facilities help members and visitors feel comfortable and safe. I have found the teaching of God’s love for us to be both practical and challenging- helping me be a better parent, friend, and citizen.

We have been to many churches in the DFW area and around the country and Church at the Creek has been the most accepting and positive place we have experienced. The pastors and staff are genuine and friendly making it easy to feel comfortable and apart of the Church family. The teachings are based around biblical truth and easy to understand and apply to your life experience. I would highly recommend trying out the church.

My wife and I have been members of The Church at the Creek for about five months. In this time, it has been very easy for us to assimilate into the culture of the church primarily because of the people who attend the services and to the direction of senior pastor and staff. The core beliefs and values of the church parallel those taught in the gospels. To date, we’ve enjoyed the weekly sermons and have found them to be practical while always citing the relevance to scripture. If you enjoy music, our worship team is very enthusiastic and talented. The small group meetings have been fun along with being spiritually and socially inspiring. We’re looking forward to the next semester. People in our group have become our friends which makes Sunday morning services much more pleasant and inviting. If service is your passion and spiritual gift, there are a plethora of ways you can serve the congregation, community and distant peoples throughout the world. The opportunities are there if you want to get involved. Personally, the Men’s Bible Study group has been a blessing for me. The discussions focus primarily upon Bible prophesy. Bottom line, everyone has the opportunity to study, develop and transform their lives at their own pace and preference whether they are new to Christianity or lifetime believers. I invite y’all to come, observe, listen, serve and enjoy the church family! You may very well decide to become members. Everyone is invited!

We are so grateful to have found this special church community! The sermons are consistently memorable and thought-provoking, the children and youth options have been such a sweet spot for my kids (they actually want to go!), and the worship is beautiful every week! Everyone is encouraged to serve in their gifting (women included, this was so important to me!). The community group has been a consistent gathering I look forward to- such a gift to have new friends! The environment across the board is warm, friendly, welcoming, hospitable. We thought this type of church didn’t exist anymore…If you having been waiting for a sign to give it a try, this is your sign!

Church at the Creek is not just a church to me — they are my family. During one of the darkest and most difficult seasons of my life battling breast cancer, they surrounded me with love, prayers, strength, and unwavering support. They showed up for me spiritually, physically, and financially when I needed it most. I truly experienced God’s love through this church family, and I will never forget everything they did for me. Forever grateful to call this church home.

We have been a part of Church at the Creek for the last four years. It's been a refreshing change and a real encouragement in our lives. The praise and worship time is upbeat and heartfelt, Mark Riggins' message is timely and practical as we all try to live out our faith. Whether you've been a Christ follower for a long time or you're just curious about "who is this Jesus?" it's a wonderful place full of people journeying through this life. It truly is a place where you can belong before you believe.

This is a good home church. Senior Pastor Higgins and the staffs are personal with great hearts. You can see that The Lord has blessed this assembly and they are bringing the good news to the community. Highly recommended for a great place to worship and part of a fellowship of God. This is one of the few. Happy Easter. He is Risen! 📖✝️

I LOVE Church at the Creek! I've been attending since 2011. This church is very welcoming and inclusive. Plus the worship band is awesome!! I feel "at home" here.

Church at the Creek has been my home Church for the past 12 years. I have never felt so welcomed as I have at CATC. When you read “Where anyone can belong” on the Website, you can believe it is true. I have gone from an occasional attendee to an every Sunday attendee and even volunteering on a regular basis. God continue blessing CATC.
