A Church Built on Relevance Most
everyone is seeking something in life. Some are seeking to have authentic relationships. Others are seeking financial
success. Still others seek to find meaning in life. No matter where you are at in this
stage of life, Willowbrook desires to join you in your journey. That's why at Willowbrook we make every effort
to be intentional in our response to those demanding questions that everyone is asking. How can
I be a better parent? How do I know if God exists? What happens after I die? Is their hope in a world that
appears to be hopeless? The good news is that the Bible does have answers for these difficult questions - and we
desire to communicate this message in the most relevant and dynamic way possible. If that sounds fair to you, we'd love
to have you stop by and check us out. Your friends from Willowbrook!

Willowbrook started in 2000, with just a handful of people.
Today, hundreds are attending each week. We are a community church. What this means is that we are made up of
all kinds of people, from all kinds of backgrounds, with all kinds of questions about God. We are a also a contemporary
and casual church - so simply relax and be yourself. You won't be singled out in any way. In fact, we believe
it will be the greatest hour of your week! And finally, we don't take an offering during the service. Instead,
we want our service to be a gift to you. Give us a test drive this Sunday!
What We Believe
The sole basis of our belief is the Bible, which
is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it bears. As the Bible
teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each possessing all the attributes
of Deity. God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result,
we need God's saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God's saving grace not human
effort and must be received personally by repentance and faith. Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless
life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplishes salvation
for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God.
He will return to earth to consummate history. The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for
personal growth and service to the church. The church's role is to glorify God and serve those in need. At the
end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Those forgiven through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship
with God.
Willowbrook has also started two new local churches:
