Worship Pastor

Who We Are:

Eagle Creek launched in 2004 and had grown to 1200+ meeting in two locations in 5 services. Our mission is to empower people to become all that God has created them to be. You can check out our values on our website. Currently, we are meeting in rented facility and outgrew them two years ago.  Because of this, we started construction in August on our first church building that will seat 900 adults, allow us to care for over 400 children per service, and should be moving in August of 2018. Our church is ramping up to grow and reach our community like never before.

Lee's Summit is ranked among the top 50 cities in the nation year after year for good reason. It is currently the 6th largest city in the state and is becoming one of the busiest centers in the Kansas City metro region. It's home to more than 90,000 residents who enjoy all the amenities of beautiful parks, high-end shopping districts, movie theaters, local restaurants. Lee’s Summit offers a high quality of life with a low cost of living and it’s schools rank among the top in Missouri. It has a growing job market with a low unemployment rate and affordable housing. It is a great family town.

Our Worship Style and Objective:

The key for us is finding a Creative Arts Pastor who understands the deep spiritual impact worship can have on both Christian and non-Christians. We are distinctively modern and vibrant in style and we value meaningful experiences with God. We don’t want Sundays to become predicable.

While excellence is very important to us, having a sense of God’s presence and power in worship is even more important. Our worship is meant to bring the believer deeper and closer but also to invite the non-believer into an exciting and moving experience without leaving them behind.  We worship to music from Elevation, Hillsong, Central Live, North Point, Passion, Bethel, Jesus Culture and other worship bands like these.
