A Message from the Pastor
Crestview United Methodist Church is a community of people seeking to follow Jesus Christ, and we invite you to join us on the journey! God is at work in your life, and we would be honored by your presence.
At Crestview, we seek to be shaped and empowered by God's Spirit so that we can go out into our community and share God's love in words and actions. We gather for prayer, worship (a blended service with choir and praise team), study of God's word (through classes and small groups), and Christian fellowship, and go out to serve God both individually and as a community. As a United Methodist congregation, we believe that God is glorified not just by "saving souls" but also by caring for the minds, bodies, spirits and relationships of all God's children.
Call or come by to check us out --you will be welcome!
