Happy 30th Anniversary to Cibolo Creek Community Church

Paul Wilson is one of the founders of Cibolo Creek. He was born in Maryland and raised in Pennsylvania. Paul explains “I first came to Texas in 1984 to attend graduate school in Dallas, Texas. Moved to Wisconsin for a few years before returning to Texas in 1996 to start Cibolo Creek Community Church. I have been happily married to my lovely wife, Charlotte, for 36 years. We have two sons, ages 31 and 26. Both of them are graduates of The University of Texas in Austin, and both currently live and work in Austin.”

Cibolo Creek Community Church began in November of 1996 when a handful of families from the area began hosting Sunday services at Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary School. We met there for six years, then in 2003, we moved to our current campus at 30395 Ralph Fair Road in Fair Oaks Ranch. 

Cibolo Creek began with the hope of being a community of authentic Christians with the heart of Jesus for people who were skeptical, even cynical, about matters of faith. The primary inspiration for starting Cibolo Creek Community Church was a desire to offer a faith community for people in the area who never really felt comfortable at church; never really fit in more formal, traditional, or denominational settings. We wanted to serve people who had never been to church or had walked away from their faith for one reason or another. At the time, there were lots of excellent churches in the area for people comfortable in and familiar with faith environments. Cibolo Creek began in the hopes of serving people in our community who were "unchurched, de-churched, or over-churched" and looking for something different. Something more relevant, practical, and authentic in an approach to the discovery of a relationship with Jesus.

Cibolo Creek hosts Worship Services each Sunday morning at 9:30 and 11:00 AM. There are excellent opportunities for children, student, and adult participation. Our Sunday services are available online for those who choose to join us remotely. Dress is casual, the coffee is hot, and the messages aim to be an honest, practical, and relevant study of the Scriptures with application to real life. We provide a variety of different learning opportunities for students, men, and women throughout the week. Anybody is welcome to participate. 

Cibolo Creek is committed to serving people in our community and around the world. We offer a number of opportunities for people to engage in serving others throughout our area, primarily through our support of several excellent local care agencies. We are also involved in several places throughout our world where we support orphanages, indigenous churches, and international relief agencies.

Cibolo Creek Community Church is just one of many wonderful churches in our area. Every church has their own sense of mission, a collective personality, and a passion for their unique expressions of ministry. Cibolo Creek is no different. Our calling as a church has been to create a place where people who are brand new to the questions and dilemmas of faith are warmly welcomed. None of us has it all figured out, nor do any of us have it all together. Anybody interested in pursuing their curiosity of the Christian faith amidst the ironies of real life may find Cibolo Creek a refreshing place to land.

Cibolo Creek Community Church strives to make a difference in our community. To encourage, to support, and to help in any way we can. We believe that is why we are here. Our hope is that if we ever ceased to exist, there would be people who'd miss us. People who'd miss the community of faith we offered. People who'd miss the dear friendships they found in our church family. People who'd miss the engaging environments where their family explored faith in God. People who'd miss the numerous opportunities to help make a difference throughout our world. People who'd miss the encouragement and support we offered in our partnership with their organization's important work in our community.

As we celebrate our 30th Anniversary, we are mindful of just how grateful we are. God has been very faithful to our church these past three decades. Without a doubt, His greatest blessing has been the wonderful people who have come through our doors, decided to make Cibolo Creek their church home, and rolled up their sleeves to pitch in and help us with the important work of our mission. We are committed to another three decades of serving our community, sharing our faith, and being a church family to anybody who walks through our doors looking for a place to ask their questions, address their doubts, and explore their beliefs.

After three decades of serving this community, we have come to understand that Cibolo Creek Community Church may not be everybody's choice. That's fine; everybody is different. However, we celebrate the many stories' people have shared of how the welcoming and unpretentious spirit of our church has been an excellent place for them to explore their faith. We look forward to being a place where God writes many more inspiring stories of life change in the lives of people who were once far from God and took their next steps toward becoming fully devoted followers of Jesus. All the while surrounded by a loving family of believers who will share that journey with them.
