Big Game Weekend | Sat-Sun, Feb 3-4
Let’s have some fun at church! Wear your favorite football jersey and invite someone to come see something we’ve never done at ThornCreek, a preach-off! This will be a great weekend to bring a friend and have some fun at church while also hearing a message of hope and God’s love.

Men’s Retreat | Thu-Sat, Feb 8-10
Being a man is tough...Being a man of God is even tougher! If you have ever found yourself in the middle of tough circumstances, this Men's Retreat is for you! Sign up for this Men's Retreat, and bring a friend...or even your son. We will be in the beautiful Estes Park area, in a mountain cabin. You will be encouraged, challenged, and refueled to do life with God! thorncreek.church/mensretreat

TC Kids
Expand
ThornCreek Children’s Ministry strives to partner with families to raise children in the way of Jesus. It’s our goal for children to be transformed by the love of God, to grow in their walk with God, surrender their lives to God, and be a light in the world for others to know God in the same way.

Our curriculum takes the kids through the Bible in a year and they are invited into The Big God Story to experience it and discover who God is and how they fit into His plan!

We believe that parents have a huge impact on the faith of their children! Every Monday, parents are emailed a Family Bible Study that you can do throughout the week with your kids. We also have a repeating 6-week Spiritual Parenting small group that you can be a part of to learn more about raising your children to know God!

We have classes available each weekend for Infants through 6th grade. All volunteers have passed background checks and we have security procedures in place to create a safe environment for your kids.
TC Teens
Expand
TC Teens Ministry’s mission is to create a safe place for teenagers to encounter Jesus, to ask questions, and to experience the Love God has for them, while ultimately integrating them into the body and mission of Christ.

WEEKLY PROGRAMS

Worship Service Info
Expand
Did you come with kids? | The teaching time in our Worship Center is designed for adults (Middle School and older). Children, 6th grade and younger, will be much more comfortable in our TC Kids Ministry which is designed just for them! There, your child will engage in age-appropriate teaching, games, music and more. You can check your child in for a TC Kids Ministry classroom at the check-in table located in the Lobby. If needed, the Lobby becomes our Cry Room for parents with infants during service. If you have further questions, please stop by the TC Kids Ministry check-in table in the Lobby today.

Volume | If you find the music too loud, please visit the Welcome Table for ear plugs. Ear plugs are also available at the Worship Center doors.

Prayer Requests | Prayer requests can be submitted via https://thorncreek.church/prayer-request. The TC Prayer Team would love to pray for your requests during the week. There are also TC Prayer Team members available to pray with you after service at the front of the Worship Center.

Distractions | To allow you and those around you to be more fully engaged in today’s service, please refrain from leaving the Worship Center during service. Also, please turn off or mute all cell phones and other mobile devices. Please use the Lobby area for any necessary conversations.
Knowing God’s will is something you learn. It’s not a lever you can pull, or an app you can download. It’s about learning the peace and heart of God in the midst of distractions.
1. God’s will starts with you throwing yourself into His will.
“When we want to know God's will, there are three things which always concur: the inward impulse, the Word of God and the trend of circumstances. Never act until these three things agree.”- F.B. Myer
“The way of freedom isn’t found in grasping for God’s omniscience, but in grasping for God’s hand.”- Bethany Jenkins
2. God’s will for your life, always starts with God’s word.
Acts of the Apostles 16:6-7 NLT

“The basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God’s will to mine, but to mold my will into His.”- Timothy Keller
God’s will for your life will always resonate with what the Spirit of God has been cultivating inside of you. It’s a desire that makes your heart beat fast, and God’s heart beat fast simultaneously.
“It’s much less demanding to think about God’s will for your future than it is to ask Him what he wants you to do in the next ten minutes.”- Francis Chan
3. Sometimes, it’s a simple choice about what kind of life you want.
