Destiny Worship Center of Crestview is a church experiencing rapid growth.

Perhaps it’s coincidental, but it’s probably not, the growth has taken place since April with the arrival of Campus Pastor Drew Brassefield.

John Reaves recalls the feeling he and his family had the first time they attended Joy Fellowship Church in 2008.

Pastor Jeff Burnett joined Crosspoint Ministries in Niceville eight years ago with the express purpose of launching what is now the Crestview Crosspoint North campus.

The church, located across the street from Davidson Middle School, started in 2016 with the goal of reaching the unchurched, the de-churched or those that had been hurt in their past church experiences.

At 33 years old, Tadd Anderson is still a young man in life and in ministry.

As the lead pastor of Mosaic Church on James Lee Blvd., he also has some big responsibilities. Anderson has embraced those responsibilities as he leads Mosaic Church, which operates as a Southern Baptist Church.

Pastor Donnie Cadenhead admits he was a bit naïve when he started his church, Victorious Life Christian Worship Center.

It was January of 1994 and the pastor and his wife, Karen, took $190 to open an account for the new church.

First Presbyterian Church of Crestview has a small congregation, but it is a place that Reverend Mark Broadhead hopes everyone will feel welcomed no matter where they might be on their spiritual journey.

Mike White looks like a man you would want as your pastor. His white hair and strong hands are evidence of years spent with God in prayer.

And after talking to him for a few minutes his love for his Lord and people quickly comes through.

Live Oak Baptist Church isn’t the easiest church to find in Crestview, but it has a ministry that dates back 90 years.

Pastor Jerry Nelson will celebrate 12 years at the church on November 30 of this year. Nelson cut to the heart of things when asked why someone would consider joining Live Oak.

Preacher Jason Hiburn and the Baker Church of Christ are on a mission to reach the local community – and the world – with the Gospel message of salvation through the work Christ did on the cross. The plan is as simple as it was for the first century church. The structure is evangelism, benevolence, edification, and worshipping God in spirit and in truth.

Often the best ministry ideas are born from the needs of a person with those needs.

That is the case with Heather McCullough, who heads the Boots on the Ground clothes drive for Golan Assembly of God in Baker.
