Services start with Sunday School at 10 a.m., and morning worship at 11 a.m. Aug. 23 at 410 Wingard St., Crestview. After lunch, service begins at 2 p.m. Jim Fellure, of Victory Baptist Church in Milton, will preach.
The Crestview church began on Aug. 22, 2010 as a Milton mission outreach. The Rev. Wayne Matheson preached the first service at Holiday Inn Express in Crestview and continued there for eight months. The church then moved to Crown Point Plaza in Crestview. It quickly outgrew that location and moved to its current location in July 2012.
Four families met for the first services in 2010. Approximately 100 people now attend Sunday school and worship services.
Matheson said the church seeks a larger facility to accommodate its growth. “We have many plans for ministry and outreach, but simply do not have the space,” says Pastor Matheson.
Current outreach efforts include a homeschool support group, children’s Bible Bowl competition, services for Spanish speaking people, youth group, ladies fellowship, bus ministry, adult and young people’s choir.
