Our Leadership
Our Staff
Mark Hjelmervik, Lead Pastor
Pastor Mark has been the lead pastor at Creekside since October, 2017. He has a passion for helping people understand and experience the transforming love and truth of Jesus Christ and live in an abundant fashion where they are recognizing where God is at work around them and how they can join Him (living with a “Kingdom of God” lens). He believes that the church is a place where no perfect people are allowed – where we can come authentically just as we are and then be transformed by God’s grace and grow in new ways together.
​
Mark is currently on sabbatical until September 8, 2023. Please reach out to Pastor Tim or our office team for questions and support.
Tim Anderson, Associate Pastor of Worship & Youth
Tim Anderson joined the Creekside staff in March 2021. He has a deep, authentic, and contagious passion for Jesus and Scripture…as well as a natural love for and relatability with people of all ages (especially students). In all he does, he seeks to demonstrate and share the faithfulness of God in order to help point people to Jesus. His greatest joy is to see God at work in his life – in his family, in the lives of his students, and in the greater church at large.
Our Leadership Team
The Creekside Leadership Team is a group of congregationally elected church members that serve as the link between the staff and the congregation. It is responsible for building, maintaining and overseeing the spiritual welfare of the local body and for directing and overseeing all ministries and business affairs at Creekside; listening for, interpreting and communicating all vision changes as God directs; holding the Lead Pastor accountable for Creekside’s progress toward vision fulfillment; and overseeing the spiritual welfare of the Creekside Staff.
