I am new to IN - four months in. I have been looking to find a church where I would feel welcomed. A community where everyone is welcomed. I have attended the services about 5 times now. Creek was referred to me by the a close family friend. My ethnicity is Indian. I grew up in the outskirts of Delhi and I am a child of an inter-caste married couple. My mother is Punjabi Hindu, and my father is Protestant. We came to USA when I was 12years old and today I am 33 years old. I grew up in the tri-state area, NY/NJ. Being an immigrant, I understand the difference in cultures, mindset, religions (specially being that India has multiple different religions), not to mention a diverse group of people that make up this country. So, we have many different cultures and religions around us here in USA as well. So, when it comes to diversity, religion and culture USA is not any different to me than India. Both countries are rich with their own culture and traditions. Lead Paster Dan Hamel’s sermons hold value, ans I have taken a lot back from my few attendings – but this past Sunday Dec 10, 2023, very clear remarks were made “Christianity is the only religion where Lord himself came to Earth for his people and lived among them….” “Hinduism, Judaism, Islam – these religion did not have their Gods come to Earth and this is why Christianity is best religion …” please do excuse me, I did not sit and memorize Lead Pastor Dan Hamel’s exact words, but I did receive your massage. Please think how can a pastor to lead, A Lead Pastor? When did it become OKAY to say anything negative or to create a competition between religions. Many young families who have made the conscious decision to raise their little ones in Gods footsteps. I remember how we all took a moment to welcome and acknowledge all those families on stage with their little ones. So, these kids who are going to grow up one day are also going to teach their little ones someday – “Our religion is the best” “No other religion has had their God sacrifice for his people”. Are you serious about this? So, you want to tell me that Lord Rama did not go in exile for 13years for his Kingdom and his family and his people. He did not sacrifice his life, family for his people. Lord Shiva does not exist among his people. Hinduism is polytheistic – yes, we have many Gods we worship. We do believe that our Gods walk among us. Goddess Lakshmi – every time a baby girl is born – it is believed that newborn baby girl is a form of Goddess Lakshmi who has decided to bless the family with a baby girl – blessing of happiness and prosperity. Please excuse me, but all I see is an ignorant man leading a community. I was not able to sit through the service and missed communion – no communion should be served under this kind of ministry. Our Lord and Jesus himself didn’t have anything this harsh to say about anyone.

I have always enjoyed the message taught when I was in town. The people were always receptive of my daughter's kindness to the ushers, office staff and the pastor Gary and his wife. I was saddened when she requested to use one of the many rooms in the church (knowing others had used different rooms at the church for other celebrations) for her twins high school graduation celabration, the office staff told her "that it was not allowed". But they were kind enought to give her some restaurants information who might be able to help her. WOW! Over 10 years of paying her tithes (the last 6-7 years while she was on Social Security from her husband who pasted away in 2012 and she was raising 3 three children -- not even working) and giving offerings, (that's not including the 10% $$$$$$$ from her husband's insurance) they refused to assist her? She loves them all just the same and continues to do what the Lord Jesus Christ has instructed her to do from her heart. She truly loves this church. She has NO idea I am writing this and I hope they don't start mis-treating her because I'm writing about my dissappointment. I raised her to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and His LOVE always superceeds anything people may use to stop HIS progress in what appears to be the less fortunate. For those who were a blessing to my child and her family, May the Lord Jesus return to you a hundred fold of ALL you have done are doing and will continue to do to encourage her. She loves you all (even those who have turned her away) very much, it's just in her to give. This church does a GREAT work in many communities BUT what about their own members who are truly involved with the work of the Lord? We really should " Do unto others the way we want others to do unto us". The Lord is not short concerning His word, "we all reap what we sow". Hopefully with the new young pastor and his wife coming in ,,,,they will take care of the members of the body at home in acton first. In ending, does this church believe in speaking in tongue as the scriptures says? Or did they tear that part out of the Bible and say it's not necessary? Cause I never recall them saying anything about the evidence of speaking in a heavenly or an unknown tongue that the Bible speaks about. Just wondering. Maybe someone can get back to me on that. Thank You , God Bless

I very welcoming restoration church. It's rather large but tries it's best to be inclusive and small group aimed. I grew up down the street from this church and have watched it grow from 12 people to 5000+ attendees in the past 30+ years. The lively contemporary service is inspiring and humble. The best feature of this church is it's engagement of all ages of attenders. Every service they offer people to go to "The Porch" area to ask questions and seek guidance of trained pastor volunteers. Every age group has a place to worship and engage within the community. The children's program is amazing! They offer babysitting for infants and toddlers that don't go to a service. If you go to the website you can learn about all the small groups that The Creek offers. They are tailored for certain needs and age groups. They offer marriage classes for groups and individuals.

to the last person who's mom requested somthing from the church and was refused. It's because these leaders here at the creek aren't always lead by the holy spirt. the church used to have saturday service even sunday evening service. now it's just sunday morning service or you don"t go. Closing or ending saturday evening service's . I would say was not being lead by the holy spirt. You think about all the people who gave tithes and offering's above 10 percent. So as to get the church out of debt. Only to have them close saturdays. What? now i have less access to the church. And one less day to be spiritly feed. also remember the church leaders get it wrong. After all how many times did jesus call out the church leaders of his day?

They canceled all Saturday services permanently and even Sunday evening service. Can't go to church now. My friend tells me. Cause of his work. Schedule. My friend tells me the leaders don't even seem to care when he asked them why they did this. It's like so what we don't have Saturday service's or Sunday evening services no more. And you can't make it to the morning service. So now he doesn't go to church at all now. Because he can't make the morning service. And he tells me it's as if the church leaders don't even care. So I guess if your Christian you can worship here. But only Sunday morning.

Gary the senior minister is truly touched by god, his messages and teachings are down to earth and taken from his and others experiences, he is easy to understand in his ministering and is just a normal person like you and I, he admits his faults unlike others I have seen. This church is truly a life changer on the true preachings of God, it is a very big church with many people but you feel so welcome. I say you will not be disappointed if you go.

Welcoming atmosphere, family orientated never feel pressure to come or feel pressure if you miss. They have online services as well. A great support group for the community-based things they do. Plenty of information on their website for any questions that a person may have. I'm happy to come here and be part of the community.

This family allows one to walk out in ones faith and they will walk along side of you in challenging times through the joyful times. GREAT place to grow in the Spirit. GOD moves in this congregation through the leadership. I am grateful it is my home.

Wonderful explanation of what making oaths is about in our living a life of truth with love. Jesus enables us as forgiven people to overcome the world of lies and to be people of light. This is a church where lives are restored and people are real.

This is a full-service Church. When you come to this church you will enter into a judgment free zone. It does not matter what you look like you smell like or how you act you will be welcomed and accepted at the Indian Creek Christian Church.

I've never been much into coming to church. But once i came to the creek i haven't missed a Saturday service. The people are so nice and kind they welcome you with open arms no matter what your fault is thanks you guys rock

This church feels like home. The ministers are wonderful and everyone is welcoming. There are so many wonderful opportunities to participate and help people in need. This church shows what being Christ-like is all about.

Gary the lead pastor or servant truly loves the word of God! He preaches the truth and is not concerned what people think but more about where they are with God! We love this church and recommend it to any and everyone!

Life Changing. Relying on the Word to shape our lives. Learning the word -- the context as well as the content -- has made our journey with Christ clear. The fellowship and transformation of lives is incredible.

Gary Johnson and Shan Caldwell are absolutely awesome in delivering the word of God. I had been to several churches and almost given up. I believe this is my home away from this earthly home. Thank you.

Great place to worship with Christian's friendly people and Great Music to worship with. Our Daughter Needed Help The Church WasVery Concerned about Her Needs. God Thank You For This Place Of Worship

I love the creek me and my family all go there so it's always a great time,the people there are so nice and funny but definitely preach the words of God,I count everyone at the creek my family

Used to have a real Fox News vibe, but now it feels more C-SPAN. Congregation is turning the channel and the church had to downsize as a result; unfortunately, they let go of the wrong dan.

They seem okay and friendly to a point. Kind of stuck up attitude generally speaking. Holier than thou is a good description. I was rather disappointed for a house of God.

A very good, welcoming church makes you feel welcome even if you only go once in awhile..feel great every time I Leave!!! Love the Creek and everyone in it!!!

Strong worship and solid biblical teaching, a very inviting church body, despite its large size. We always feel welcome and visit every time we are in Indy.

This church left me stranded with no gas and refused to help me get home because of policy. Im sure this is not how jesuss oeipls are suppised to act

I never leave this church overwhelmed or wondering what the message was intended. Pastor Gary grabs your attention, and delivers a string message!

We visited this church to watch the children's Christmas program. We were blown away by the talent and strong biblical message.

I love everything about this church. The sermons, the people, the caring attitude, the music.... All of it

My home church..love it... no matter what your life you have traveled you are welcome at the creek

I so enjoyed the Good Friday video.It was well done and effective. Thank you for your hard work.

If yoy are looking for a church home, this is the place! Wonderful service every weekend!

Attended The National Preaching Summit here. Great facilities, and really nice people

Blasting fireworks during a thunderstorm 3 weeks after 4th of July. Not smart.

The first Sunday we attended we knew that this was where God wanted us.
