Sharing our faith is an important part of our spiritual journey. In fact, Jesus commanded us to do so in Matthew 28:19. He even went so far as to call us "fishers of men" in Matthew 4:19.

West Des Moines July 4 Parade
Special thanks to Carlson Crane for the use of the truck!

Here are some ways that we are reaching out to our community:

Trinity Meal - We participate with other churches in serving an evening meal at a Des Moines inner-city church.

Meals On Us Cards - A great way to show God's love, Meals On Us cards let you share your faith by purchasing a meal for a stranger.

Annual Easter Drama - This event draws a crowd from surrounding neighborhoods as we remember the passion story; people walking or driving by often pause to observe the drama. More info...

Servant Evangelism - How often do you receive something that is completely free? We recently held a "totally free" car wash for anyone who was interested, with NO donations accepted. Performing loving acts of kindness is our way of showing God's love to our community.

4th of July Parade - We have a great time participating in this annual event, with our praise team providing music, and other members passing out candy and church information to parade watchers.

Creek Party - An annual neighborhood party featuring large inflatable games, food, family-friendly activities, and a concert.

Mission Trips - We feel that mission trips are critical to our spiritual growth, and have offered numerous trips around the United States and Mexico.

Angel Tree - Held during Thanksgiving and Christmas, this program helps to provide food and gifts for families who may otherwise have a hard time making ends meet during the holidays.

Breakfast with Santa - This fun, family-oriented event gives kids a chance to meet Santa, and hear about the real reason for the season - the birth of Jesus Christ.

Here are some simple ways that you can share your faith with others (friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers, etc.).

  • Offer to pray for someone who is experiencing a difficult time or illness
  • Place a small Bible on your desk at work
  • Listen to Christian radio stations or CDs at home and in the car
  • Pray that God would give you the opportunity to share your faith
  • Just be a friend to someone - and live out your faith
  • Use a "Kindness Card" - a neat way to invite someone you may not even know!

Check out the information tables at Jordan Creek Church for "Kindness Cards" and more ways to share your faith.
