Authentic Relationships
The relationships built in OAGs are hospitable, meaning they invite others into our homes and into our lives. This kind of hospitality is a communal proclamation of the gospel, which invites us to know and be known by God through Christ. Shaped by the Word

OAGs are the main venue where Creeksiders pray for each other. These smaller-scale communities allow for us to continually lift one another in prayer over extended periods of time. Looking Outward
Just like the Christian life, our OAGs are missional. From inviting newcomers to join us, to serving one of Creekside’s partners as a group, we want the relationship offered in our OAGs to be offered to those who need it. |
