"rebelution" - is probably a new word to you, it is a combination of rebellion and revolution to form an entirely new word for an entirely new concept: rebelling against rebellion. More precisely defined rebelution is "a rebellion against low expectations" especially in teenagers.
Have you ever longed to serve the community locally? This Fall Willow Creek is partnering with Kids Hope USA. Kids Hope is an award winning national mentoring program that works exclusively through local churches, teaching them to engage their members in one-on-one relationships with at-risk public elementary school children.
Our hope is that Kid's Hope that will train and develop mentors to build into the lives of vulnerable students. Then we hope to have mentoring partnerships with schools in Cary, Fox River Grove. The commitment for a mentor after our Willow Creek/Kids Hope training is to give one hour a week (before school, during the school lunch hour or after school) to one child. School personnel consistently report that many children involved with a Kids Hope trained mentor exhibit significant change in academic performance, attitude, attendance and behavior.

I am Willow Creek's Area Pastor for Dundee Crown and the Cary Grove Areas. I have been at Willow for 11 years and on staff for about 9 years. My wife, Shoji, is a Licensed Christian Counselor and has a private practice in Barrington. My two children are Priya 6 and Stephen 4 - I love living in the area especially being EAST of the River! I am very excited about all the Willow Folks in our area, I think we can really impact those living around us and make the area a better place to live and work.
