Knowing & honoring Jesus Christ is our aim, and we would love to come alongside you in that great adventure! We believe the message of Jesus is good news for everyone and all of life. Come this Sunday & you're guaranteed a warm welcome, uplifting music, and clear Bible teaching.

Our music is contemporary, & messages are anchored to the Bible & applied to 21st century life. Fun & safe children's ministry is provided for preschoolers throughout the Sunday service. During the school year, 1st - 6th graders join adults for singing and then go to their own area for age-appropriate ministry during the message. Because we want to support families in raising not just good kids but kids who love God, during the summer we typically engage in a series where families with 1st-6th graders get to worship & learn together. 

Outside of Sunday mornings, we offer several kinds of small groups--calling them growth groups--and a great youth group on Sunday evenings throughout the school year.

If you have questions after taking a spin through the website, feel free to contact us via the Contact Us button up top or by phone at (317) 595-8558. We're easy to find, just a mile East of I-69 on 116th Street in Fishers, IN. You can find detailed directions under the About Us menu above.

Feel free to check out Pastor Ken's blog under the Resources section. You can also stream or download his messages in the Resources section by clicking on Sermons, or click on the "listen to Sermons" button on the left on this page. 

Hope to see you this Sunday at 10:15 a.m.!

A member of the ski patrol arrived about the same time I did. I stopped and offered to assist as needed, since I was an EMT years ago. The fallen skier groggily identified himself as Ron. He was, in a phrase, not quite with us.

No one had witnessed the crash, but Ron’s skis had popped off far uphill from where he lay in the snow. His eyes were open but glazed. His eyeglasses had left a firm impression on the bridge of his nose and cut his face. When asked what year he was born, Ron answered, “1953.” Asked his age, Ron had no answer. Like an NFL quarterback whose bell has been rung, Ron needed help. He was given a sled ride down the mountain to be further evaluated.

Encountering Ron reminds me of one of the reasons we need Christ’s Church. Some think that they can be a Christian without being tied in to a local church. Hogwash. I can skip two meals a day and still stay alive, but wouldn’t recommend it. Three square is the better way to go. Connecting personally to a local church is similar, bringing with it important benefits. One is the help available when you fall.

The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Christians in Galatia, reminds us of our role as members of heaven’s “ski patrol,” writing, “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Carry each other’s burdens. When one gets tripped up and takes a face plant, those who are still steady on their skis should stop and lend an assist. Gently get him on the sled. Carefully bring him down the mountain. Practice a bit of good spiritual medicine, nurturing him back to his feet. And then remind him that now that he has been helped back up, he has a role to play in stopping to help others, as a member of the team.

I trust Ron is okay today. He certainly got the help he needed, from a team, immediately. I hope you, along with others who are steady on their feet, stop the next time you see a fellow Christian face down in the snow.

Today's sermon deals with Daniel and how he and his friends heroically faced authority that didn't match up to God's expectations. ]]> Sun, 22 Jan 2012 19:11:09 GMT Downloads http://www.fallcreek.org/content.cfm?id=213&content_id=111
