CHILDREN AND FAMILY

In our ministry with children and families, our goal is to help families find their way back to God, connect with others, and contribute to changing the world. Look, we know how hard at can be out there in today's world.  Our hope is we can help you navigate your way through this thing, and to keep you connected to God and each other!   Help us help you.  Share with us how we can help!  If you have an idea, we are all ears and willing to make it happen!   Bear Creek wants to walk with you in any way we can!

TRUNK OR TREAT, OCTOBER 27 3-5pm

Ready to have some October fun? Bring your kids to Trunk or Treat in the the Bear Creek UMC parking lot for some safe trick-or-treating, bouncy house, games, and loads of fun! You won't want to miss out on the costumes, decorations, treats and the joy of the season. Free for everyone! 

At Bear Creek, families aren't our future...they are our NOW! 

Here at Bear Creek we are dedicated to surrounding you and your children with God's love!   If there's one thing we want you to know and your child to know is that you are an incredible gift!   Now look, I know it may not feel like that sometimes.  We know what it's like to get those children up, dressed, and out the door on a Sunday morning!  It's work!  That's why if you get here late because of a child who can't seem to get in gear, there is no judgement here!  We are just glad you made it.  And our hope is that once you get here you can relax and enjoy someone being there for you and your children.  Sit back, grab a latte, and relax in God's house of grace for a while!  Rest on the truth that you are not alone! 

Working with anyone under the age of 18 at Bear Creek requires a full background check and Sexual Abuse Awareness Training.
