The Abound Discipleship Journey is a desire and a call for Clear Creek Community Church to abound as a thriving church on a daring mission with extravagant love.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13
A NOTE FROM LEAD PASTOR,
BRUCE WESLEY
In 1993, a group of families launched out in faith to establish a new church to help our family and friends experience the love of God in Christ and the beauty of life together in the church. And by God’s grace, it worked.
Today, we are one church with six campuses. Over 10,000 adults, students, and children call Clear Creek Community Church home. But we’re not done. Because there is so much more to do.
This is why I am inviting you on a two-year discipleship journey—to help each of us grow as a disciple of Jesus and to help all of us fund the next season of God’s work through his church.
Like me, and like every member of my family, you have a story of how Clear Creek has impacted your relationship with Christ. More than 4,400 people at Clear Creek have stories that include their baptism. They came to faith in Jesus here. Thousands of others have stories of other ways that God has changed their lives. Abound will allow us to multiply stories like yours at home and all around the world. I hope you will join me for this journey. Together, we will abound!
Grace and Peace,
Bruce Wesley
Abound Discipleship Journey
DISCIPLESHIP IN GENEROSITY
is about shaping our hearts. Every generosity initiative that people participate in requires them to consider their relationship to money and consider their giving practices, deciding whether they will trust God and live with an eternal perspective.
MISSION ADVANCEMENT
is about funding our mission to lead unchurched people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. God has been so generous to us, but, “to whom much is given, much is required.” We are positioned for this next season to be the most fruitful season in the history of the church! Therefore, we are trusting God with a secondary goal of $46.7 million to accomplish three gospel-centered initiatives over the next two years.

PRIMARY GOAL
Discipleship in Generosity
Each of us would seek an answer to the following question:
“Lord, what do you want to do in me and through me so that I may abound for your glory?”
We are challenging 100% of Clear Creek Community Church to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ in these ways:
SURRENDER
Am I surrendered to God so that he can fill me to overflowing? Do I live in a way that my hope in Jesus abounds for the glory of God and the good of others?
FAITH
Where is God calling me to trust him more and obey him courageously? Am I living like a person who believes that God is at work to save people, and he uses people like me?
GENEROSITY
Does my giving reflect that Jesus is first in my life and that God has given me an eternal perspective? Is God
challenging me to grow into a new level of generosity?
SECONDARY GOAL
Mission Advancement
$46.7 million over two years
We are trusting god with a secondary goal of providing the funds necessary to advance the mission of clear creek community church
