We strive towards God’s dream of peace and abundance for all people, seeking to be both transformed and transformational with our social justice work.
Race Matters
Creekside members are actively on a spiritual journey of liberation from racism. This ministry team encourages cultural encounters in the wider community and opportunities for education and transformation on matters of racial justice.
Creekside Commons & Beacon Interfaith Housing
Workforce housing built with Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative is located immediately north of the church parking lot. Completed in 2010, Creekside now is providing safe, healthy and comfortable housing for 30 working families.
Earthwise & Groundwise
We honor our oneness with all of creation and work to pull the biggest lever to counteract climate change. Our goals are to become a carbon neutral church building by 2030, to improve our water stewardship, and to ROT (Reduce our Trash!).
Faith-Based Organizing
We live God’s call for just and loving communities by coming together to improve our community in Minnesota and beyond. We partner with ISAIAH and MN Interfaith Power and Light. Recent victories include creating the healthcare exchange in MN and defeating the Voter ID amendment.
Global Justice
Creekside’s 30+ member Global Justice Team organizes the church to resist the global systemic forces bent on exploitation—particularly of marginalized communities and vulnerable people.
Immigration Justice
The Creekside Immigration Team provides leadership, in collaboration with our partners, to accompany our immigrant siblings and neighbors seeking asylum and advocates for just immigration policies at all levels of government.
Creekside Montessori
A non-profit organization founded by Creekside UCC, Creekside Montessori offers a full-day, year-round program for children ages 16 months to six years. Creekside Montessori’s mission is to ensure low-income families access to high quality early education.
