United Church of Christ



Spring Creek United Church of Christ is seeking a part-time settled pastor to lead and revitalize our 125-member congregation. We are also very interested in creative collaboration possibilities between our congregation and other area churches. Our active and loyal core group is excited to continue to do God’s work and to grow in outreach, faith commitment, and membership. We welcome all to our modern sanctuary, our gardens, our weekly concerts, and to our family. Spring Creek United Church of Christ is an Open and Affirming, God Is Still Speaking congregation. Spring Creek Church, founded in 1961, is on a busy intersection in Rockford, Illinois. Its parking lot faces a residential neighborhood. Rockford has many restaurants, music venues and boutique shopping. We are home to the Rockford Icehogs, a Blackhawks farm team. Rockford has vast county forest preserves for exploring and four rivers for boating activities. Our light filled sanctuary is a safe place open to all. You may expect to hear a variety of music, spontaneous sharing of joys and concerns, occasional laughter, and a thought-provoking message. Spring Creek’s vocal and bell choirs, as well as guest musicians, delight in the exceptional acoustics which the sanctuary provides. Services are recorded for those not able to attend. As a congregation, we enjoy our time together both during and after worship. We are a warm and caring family, open minded, a resilient group, and a congregation of doers. We are passionate about local outreach opportunities such as Adopt an Apartment, Laundry Love, Rock River Pantry, and our fourth Sunday of the month Pay It 4ward Sundays. Many outside groups such as Boy Scouts, music groups, a bike club, and a genealogy group also use our building. We pray for a minister with new, refreshing ideas and energy to engage and motivate us to be a stronger, more committed people of God. We pray for a minister who is progressive, open minded, honest, and loyal. We need someone who will prayerfully guide us in our decisions. This minister will be welcomed into our family with open hearts and open arms.Visit us on Facebook @springcreekucc VisRockford and the surrounding area provide:A large public school system, many private schools, Rock Valley College, Rockford University, and UIC Medical and Pharmacy schoolAn award-winning park district and Winnebago Forest PreserveEasy access to Madison, Milwaukee, and ChicagoExcellent museums plus internationally recognized Anderson GardensMany theatre/music venues, golf courses, bike paths, summer markets and a water park Highly ranked health care and hospitals Rich in history, home to both the Rockford Peaches and the original sock monkeys ................
