Ministry Opportunities in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties

Our “Judea” is located among the peoples of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. In partnership with our sister bay area Baptist churches, who are part of the Pensacola Bay Baptist Association, and other like-minded, Great Commission evangelical Christian partners, these are the people we reach with God’s love as “distant neighbors”.

As an evangelical, Southern Baptist church, Hillcrest has always had a vision for being obedient to the Great Commission task of our Lord. Our church motto, “Becoming Like Christ”, has come alive through the testimony and faithfulness of our people in sharing God’s love with others, baptizing them, and discipling them in God’s unfailing word.

When was the last time you volunteered your time to minister in our community? Was it yesterday, this week, last month, last year, perhaps never? This week would be a good time to start.

At Hillcrest we believe that every member should be a minister. We encourage our members to be active in some ministry both inside the church and outside the church.

The following is just a sample of those ministries that are meeting the needs of people in our community. For more information, please click on the name of the community ministry and it will take you directly to the ministry’s website.

Remember – God only asks us to be faithful and share about Jesus with others as we have the opportunity, in the best way we can. We are to trust God with the results!

Hillcrest Intensive Service Weekends

Hillcrest partners with several community based ministries on an ongoing basis. Several times in the year we do labor intensive ministry over a weekend. These projects typically involve renovation/repair work, new construction, paint, sawdust, hammers, noise, sweat, and getting dirty! Please check our church calendar for the event details.
