“We are passionate about the local Church and seeing the lives of people changed through the life-transforming message of Christ. On June 22, 1971 Jesus came knocking on the door of my heart, I surrendered my life to Him. Since then following Jesus has been an amazing adventure and we know the best is yet to come. ”

Crystal River Church Started in the summer of 2000. A dozen people dared to dream of a church, a community, where people could connect with God and live the life He came to give every one of us. Crystal River Church is a fun place to grow in your journey with God and help others become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Connect – We think living life in community is the only way to live life. Doing life with others helps us to connect in community, focus on others, and establish meaningful relationships.
Grow – Moving to the next level is important for our spiritual journey. Matthew 13:8 (The Message) “Some seed fell on good earth, and produced a harvest beyond his wildest dreams.” That is our hope for you.
Serve – It’s all about others. Serving enables us to use our gifts, talents and resources, so we can become all God has created us to be.
