Do a google search for "Willow Creek Community Church." The information is out there. The Willow Creek website only provides a partial statement of faith, with instructions to pick up a full copy at their service desk. It might be enlightening to read the rest of it.

Ya might want to look at Saddleback Baptist in Cal.,the 2nd largest church in the nation..my church has bought and uses their "church growth "material...I believe that the word of God never returns void,I believe the church is built by Christ..but these mega churches "market "their churches like deoderant..a "target population",demographics etc...

It is not God!

Why do you feel that Saddleback is not of God? I've been a member of Saddleback Valley Community Church (its official name. The church is a member of the Southern Baptists) and very active in the church for some time. If there is something specific that you would like to know regarding the church, its beliefs, policies, etc., please let me know. I would be happy to give you an honest answer. I can tell you that this is a God-fearing church that has reached thousands and thousands of people who might not have been reached by other Christian churches. But this church is not for everybody. Nor is your church for everybody. The Lord loves variety and He has made us all different with different needs and likes. Before judging any church, I suggest that you attend a service and see for yourself.
