Who We Are

We are a congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). We do not have a formal creed but welcome all who believe in and seek to follow Christ.

Crestwood is one of a dozen Disciples congregations in the city of Lexington. It participates with other churches who make up the Christian Church in Kentucky. There are some 4,000 congregations with nearly a million members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada.

Crestwood has always enjoyed an open spirit... encourages a friendly atmosphere... extends a hearty welcome to all persons... promotes a diversity in all matters... has developed an intentional sense of gender and racial inclusiveness... honors an acceptance and respect for different theological views... and constantly attempts to foster an awareness of the need for an ecumenical environment.

Crestwood's Mission

The calling of Crestwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is to bear witness to Christ in our area by being a Christian community of caring and loving people which:

• welcomes all people into the church where they may worship God, experience the grace of God, grow spiritually, practice Christian values, and be nurtured in a fellowship of love through Jesus Christ.
• strives to be a faith-sharing community by expressing God's love in every relationship, and by encouraging others to join and participate in the church's ministries.
• reaches out spiritually and physically to others in the power of God's grace with love, peace, and compassion, into our community, the world, and the universal church.
