Your New Church Family
Nestled in the rolling countryside of Harrison Co. Kentucky you will find Indian Creek Christian Church. A faith community that has been in existence since 1803 and birthed under the influence of Barton W. Stone. Indian Creek is steeped in the history of the Restoration Movement and happens to only be 25 miles from the site of the Cane Ridge Revival. This history has allowed Indian Creek to be a constant spiritual presence in Harrison Co. and allowed hundreds of families to come to know Jesus over their 220 years of existence.
Because of this history and lineage in the Restoration Movement, you will notice on your first Sunday a smiling and engaging group of people that call Indian Creek their spiritual home. You will shake hands with individuals that are new to the faith and freshly following Jesus all the way to families that have a lineage that stretches back to being founding members when the church was first planted. We like to break bread together and spend time living life alongside each other as well. We are looking forward to you joining that way of life with us too.
As you step into the pulpit, you will see many with bibles open and ready to study scripture with you. The Indian Creek church family prides themselves on Encountering God, Connecting to His Word, and Serving the Mission of Jesus daily. We look forward to continuing to grow that mission with you and your guidance.
Cynthiana is the county seat and a wonderful place to put down roots. The city itself was founded as an agricultural center and still pays homage to that history with many functioning farms, historical markers, and events. We would love for you to come and be a part of this tight knit rural community and link arms with us to ensure that “All have heard.”
Character Requirements
Indian Creek Christian Church in Cynthiana, KY is in search of a biblically grounded, faithfully firm individual to lead our church family as our next Lead Minister. If you see yourself as having a heart of a teacher, a gifted communicator, and have a passion for making disciples, we want to talk to you! When you describe yourself to someone, if you happen to use words like a lifelong learner, relational, and have a desire to be a spiritual guide then you may be the individual that we are looking for.
General Expectations
When you look at the staff and performance of each individual ministry, you will see a benchmark that each one of your future teammates is holding themselves to. For your new role here, these expectations or benchmarks could be anything from living directly in the Harrison Co community, holding regular office hours to active community involvement. We pride ourselves on being a close family and want to make sure that we are caring for our current family members as well as seeking and welcoming new family members into the church.

Currently, you will have the ability to preach at both of the Sunday morning services as well as teach a bible study on Wednesday nights where you will find most everyone sitting and sharing a meal together before heading off to the meeting rooms for their discipleship time.

No need to worry about going and finding a desk or other office equipment, we have you covered with all of that ready for when you arrive.
What we are asking you to bring to the table
