FBC Year of Rest
2026
The year of 2026 stands before us as a year of rest and renewal, not as an end to ministry, but as a return to abiding more deeply in God's presence. After seasons of labor, God consistently calls His people to rest, just as He promises, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." (Ex 33:14)
You will find that we will be pulling back from some of our regular ministry events this year, such as Experience Christmas and Summer Music and Arts Camp. This doesn't mean we will never do them again, in fact, we plan to restart with refreshed energy and focus in 2027!
We look forward to enjoying a Sabbath-rest and hope you and your family will join us in it!
Open Doors Building Campaign
Starting Now!
Join us in the vision to bring financial freedom to First Baptist Crestview that will open doors to more ministry!
The goal is to pay off the building debt so there will be financial freedom to allow for more ministry, missions, and other outreach!
Pray about where God is leading you and give in person or online.
