    Hi, I'm Brook. I love being the lead pastor here at Bear Creek and I'm passionate about getting you involved in this warm, welcoming, and inclusive community. My passion is to help folks say "yes" to a God who has said "yes" to you at your first breath of life!  And to invite you to join me and our Bear Creek family and friends reach out to folks and places that are hurting in our world. Here at Bear Creek we strive to a part of God's "light in the darkness." Part of that "light" is trying to have some fun together!  No matter what we are doing, we try to do it in a way that we lift spirits! I can't wait to get to know you and get you connected to all the great people here! You are going to feel better about YOU when you get involved at Bear Creek!Thanks for dropping by!  Facebook F     Twitter    Envelope

    Greetings! Welcome to Bear Creek! If you're looking for a way to plug in or just need some information, I'm a great place to start! I'm here to help things run smoothly and to keep Pastor Brook in line. I love coffee, chocolate, reading, and cats (not necessarily in that order), and like to be outside and active. I've been working in churches for years, and the flow of the seasons is very familiar. I'm married and have an adult son (and three cats). 

We're so blessed to have a community of givers!

Volunteers

Many from our church family help throughout the week, show up to serve others, and lend a hand for special events.  These are just a few of the friendly faces of our congregation doing what they love...

  • Walking in the Seattle Pride Parade

    From supporting our neighbors to standing up for others' rights to making neck coolers on a hot day, this is an important part of our history and dedication to our community.

  • Trunk or Treat

    Each year we open our parking lot up to the community to provide a fun & free Halloween event.  Our church members love to dress up, pass out candy, decorate their cars, and provide fun games for the kids to explore.

  • Vacation Bible School

    We have dozens of volunteers jump in and help when VBS happens each summer!  Fun craft stations, feeding kids, playing games outside, singing along with kids...It all takes energy, a love for children, and a heart that wants to teach our young ones about the beauty of God.
