Helpful Resources

This section of our web site is dedicated to providing access to helpful and informative Internet resources. As we should do with all such aids, we encourage you to use discernment by testing all things against Scripture. Just because a resource is provided does not mean the leadership of Creekside Bible Church fully embraces or endorses all information presented on each of these sites.


Please contact Pastor/Elder Stan Patterson or Pastor/Elder Jonathan Grellas if you have any questions.
