ABOUT US

The Church by the Creek is an authentic Christian wedding and ministry venue located in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks, built beside a natural creek on Woods Fork Road. Unlike other historic Ozark churches , our sanctuary blends the region’s traditional creekside church heritage with a modern space for worship, baptisms, weddings, and community gatherings. As one of the only dedicated creekside Christian wedding venues in the Missouri Ozarks, we welcome couples and families from across the United States.
