This Sunday - We are still experiencing “Hotober” here in West Texas, but cooler days are coming soon. We recently bought a fire pit for our back yard because one of my favorite things to do on a cool evening is to sit around the fire as a family. I have fond memories around the fire. One of my jobs was to feed the fire so that it wouldn’t die out. The same is true in our spiritual lives. God sparks a fire within, but if we fail to fan the flame and keep it going and growing it will die out. Join us this Sunday as we learn what it means to Feed & Fan the Flame of God in our lives.

The Chosen - Join us this Wednesday at 6:30 as we explore the new multi-season miniseries called The Chosen together. It is a powerful depiction of the life of Jesus through the eyes of those who knew him best; His first followers. Each week we will watch a new episode, followed by a brief time of discussion and prayer. No matter where you are at in your journey with Jesus Christ, this show is for you. We will also have some concessions available before the show for a donation. All the proceeds will go to support our children and youth ministries.

Faith Promise - At NazFamily Church we believe that God is a missional God and He calls us to be a missional people. We are engaged in God’s mission both locally and globally. Each year we have a Faith Promise service to support these mission efforts. On October 25th, we are excited to have Premal & Kavita Awasarmal and their two young children with us. Premal is the Asian Indian Ministry Coordinator on the West Texas District. They also have a vibrant ministry to the Indian student at UT, Arlington where they have been given the opportunity to share the Gospel with over 100 students.

At Crestview Baptist Church, we believe the most fulfilling pursuit for a body of believers is not entertainment, gimmicks, or programs.
