Worship at Eagle Creek Church is modern and heartfelt: a live band leads current worship songs with the lyrics on screen, followed by a practical, Bible-based message — all inside a service that lasts about one hour. The atmosphere is casual and engaging, whether you sing along, or just take it in.
If you’re new to church: worship simply means expressing love and honor to God — at Eagle Creek, mostly through music. There’s no ritual to know in advance. Songs are led by a live band, words appear on screens, and you’re free to participate however you’re comfortable: sing, stand, sit, or simply listen. Nobody is watching to see if you’re doing it “right.”
Contemporary worship music, led by a live band. You’ll hear modern songs from artists like Elevation Worship, Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake, and Bethel Music, along with original arrangements. If you’ve been to churches like Elevation Church, Church of the Highlands, or Life.Church, the style will feel familiar — contemporary and energetic, with polished lighting, audio, and media.
A few things that define worship at Eagle Creek:
- The band leads, it doesn’t perform. The focus is on inviting everyone to sing, pray, and respond together — not on a show.
- High energy with meaningful moments. Services often open with celebratory praise, then move into more reflective songs that make room for prayer and quiet response.
- Biblically centered. Songs emphasize the gospel, God’s character, and the work of Jesus — not emotional experience for its own sake.
- Spirit-led but planned. There’s freedom for moments of prayer and response, but services stay intentional and welcoming — never chaotic or unpredictable, even for someone walking into church for the very first time.

Messages at Eagle Creek are practical and Bible-based — each week dives into what the Bible says and connects it to real life: family, work, worry, purpose, relationships. Founding pastor Matt Harris leads the teaching ministry. Expect plain language, not seminary vocabulary, and expect to leave with something you can actually use during the week.
About one hour, and the church is intentional about honoring your time. A typical service is worship music, a message, and a closing — friendly, encouraging, and full of hope.
No. You won’t be asked to stand and introduce yourself, pray out loud, or give money. Everything that happens is explained as it happens.
Yes — Thursday at 6:30pm is a full, identical service with the same live worship and message as Sunday at 9:00 and 10:30am.
Absolutely — kids are always welcome to worship alongside their families in the service. Many families instead check their children into EKids, which has its own age-appropriate worship, including a Kids Worship Team that leads elementary kids every week.
And if your child stays with you, there’s a Mother’s Room at the back of the auditorium: a quiet space with large windows and an audio feed, so you can participate in the entire service while your infant or toddler has room to move, play, or be cared for. It’s also a comfortable place for nursing moms.
The best way to know if the worship at Eagle Creek fits you is to experience one service — in person at 125 SE Stuart Rd in Lee’s Summit, or online first if that feels easier. Either way, we’d love to have you.
