Who We Are
Read our Introduction Letter and
the Shalom
Mission Communities Brochure
Learn about the People who make up Plow Creek.
Our focus is on mission, spirituality, and relationships.
We are part of Shalom Mission Communities, a group of peace oriented Christian communities. Recently my son, Jon, and a
friend followed the creek we're named after to the spot where it joins
the larger Bureau Creek. My son tossed in a fishing line. A couple of
hours later he came home and said, “Dad, that's a great fishing spot. I
caught all kinds of fish -- bluegills, a small mouth bass, carp and a
catfish.”
Plow Creek has two streams
-- Plow Creek Church and Plow Creek Fellowship. We trust that at the
point they flow together amazing things will happen so that people will
say, “Wow, that's a great spot.
I received all kinds of gifts from the Lord there.”
God has given each of us at
Plow Creek the incredible gift of life through his son, Jesus. Out of
his generosity we welcome new people like you to Plow Creek.
Plow Creek is a church and
an intentional community, a busy farm, a still, small place, a broken
people, a place of God's joy, the end of a trek and the beginning of a
journey. May we be God's people to you while you are with us.
We are a tiny part of God's
vast kingdom. God's kingdom includes many churches beyond Plow Creek.
We are Mennonite, a small denomination among a rainbow of denominations
and independent churches that span the globe.
We exist to worship the
Lord, love one another and to serve people beyond us.
This web site is like a
brief map of Plow Creek highlighting who we are, our vision, how to
join us, and our history. Maps are interesting but reality is more
varied, painful, complex and beautiful. Come and see.
In Him,
Rich Foss
for Plow Creek Church and Fellowship

Flow.
