our history.
What does "Flooding Creek" mean?
Flooding Creek is an older name for the area, and is in fact the name of one of the local creeks that (unsurprisingly) floods! This creek is part of the city landscape and history.
​
Our name reminds us that we are a church that is part of this local community, that we desire to be a constant and enduring part of it, and it also reminds us of God's promises to flood the world with his Holy Spirit. It starts as a little trickle and then grows to a wider river that renews the world (See Ezekiel 47:1-12, Revelation 22:1-5).
​
We hope Flooding Creek Community Church may be used by God to flood this city and region with God's love and grace.
Our story
Flooding Creek was planted in 2012 by Dan and Simone Godde after they saw the need for more Gospel preaching, Bible-based churches in this region. Sadly, Dan fell sick with cancer in early 2016, and died in early 2017. Nevertheless, God has still blessed their work by enabling a Bible-based church community to be established here. We love seeing people meet Jesus and grow in their faith while they are connected in with other believers on the same journey.
​
After Dan's death, Flooding Creek was served by various Christians who were committed to the mission of Jesus' church in this place, hoping and praying that God would continue the work that was already begun.
We remain a church that is on mission together, where each of us is called to use our God-given gifts to serve and encourage one another while reaching out to our local community.
​
In early 2021 we called Samuel Lindsay to come and lead us as we continue our labours here for Christ.
