Food of the Month:
Through a desire to help those in need, Mill Creek has a ministry called, "Food of the Month." Each month the missions committee in cooperation with Loaves and Fishes of Monroe (as emergency food pantry) specifies a food item, such as peanut butter, canned fruit or juice for members to give. At the end of the month, the items are taken to Loaves and Fishes for distribution to the needy.

Ministries	Our Youth - "DRIVEN" The student ministry at Mill Creek is very important to the church family. So much so that the church now employs a full time youth pastor who leads those in the sixth through twelfth grades in growing in the walk with Christ. The ministry is called "Driven", a name chosen by the youth to show their desire to please Christ in their lives. The youth have a very large, contemporary area al their own where they learn, worship, sing, have special guest speakers and performers and plan special events. Mill Creek youth enjoy ski trips, summer camps, day outings such as bowling and much more. But they are also mission minded and serve other where they can. They are glad to welcome all visitors to the group! Children's Ministry Mill Creek loves children! By using Jesus' love and concern for children as a role model, Mill Creek provides many different services and events for them such as Sunday School classes for all ages, Vacation Bible School, the Exceptional Children's Camp, the Parent's Morning Out pre-school, and much more. Additionally, each Wednesday night there are opportunities for children from nursery through 5th grade. Mission Friends is for children 2 to 4 years old Children In Action - Kindergarten through 2nd grade and a group for children in 3rd through 5th grade. All groups are active in mission support, participate in holiday events and have fun activities along with Bible study.
Music Ministry The Music has always been a large part of our worship at Mill Creek. It has comforted us in times of loss and pain and lifted us in times of jubilation and rejoicing. God never asked us to sing or even perfectly or even on the right notes, but we are told to "make a joyful noise." We can sing to God with our hearts and souls and voices. At Mill Creek we are blessed with many talented musicians, music leaders and voices. Instruments include a baby grand piano. a *something* organ, various string instruments and more. Praise, worship, adoration, honor, love, fellowship - all results of lifting our voices and instruments in praise to God. Music Ministries Include: » Adult Choir - Sunday 5 pm in November » Instrumentalists » Spiritlifters Handbell Choir » Special Quartets » Children's Choirs - Wed. Nights (2 yrs - 5th grade) They will be broken down into three age appropriate divisions and will take turns practicing the music. *The Christmas program is here* and will be worked on during this time also. We look forward to spending time with your child and learning to love worship through music. Exceptional Children's Camp The church's love for one of its own children with special needs led to the start of a summer day camp for exceptional children. Mill Creek furnishes a welcoming facility, access to transportation, funding and other support for this event, which is a highlight of the summer for those attending. Other exceptional children's events hosted by Mill Creek include: »Christmas Party »Annual Joint Birthday Party
