Spotlight on Crestwood

No matter if you’re a member of Crestwood or an interested visitor to our website, there’s probably a lot you don’t know about our wonderful church! Gaye Holman was a member of Crestwood decades ago, and has recently rejoined our church after moving back to Lexington. She realized the church has changed since she left, so she is writing a series of articles highlighting a different aspect of our church and its ministries. We hope you enjoy reading these articles and learning more about Crestwood.

Crestwood Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Crestwood celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2009!  A key part of our celebration was the gathering of historical information and writing the story of Crestwood’s birth. The result of this effort, by former member Ben Cowgill who was the Chair of the 50th Anniversary Committee, was titled “Called as Partners in Christ’s Service” and can be read by clicking here. Ben also produced a 50th Anniversary Journal Website and most of the materials included in this history section of the website is based on his website.
