Sandra Chappell faithfully serves the children of Crestview Missionary Baptist Church as the teacher of our Belay Lifeline Class for Kindergarten through 4th grade. As our pastor’s wife and a retired school teacher, Sandra brings years of experience, a love for children, and a heart for helping young people learn and grow.

Her background in education, combined with her love for the Lord, allows her to make Bible lessons engaging, understandable, and meaningful for young hearts. She desires for every child in her class to know that they are loved by God and to begin developing a strong foundation in His Word.

In mountain climbing, a belay provides security and support for a climber as they make their way upward. In much the same way, children need loving teachers, families, and a church surrounding them as they begin their journey of faith. Most importantly, they need to learn that Jesus Christ is the Lifeline they can always depend on.

Through the Belay Lifeline Class, Sandra encourages children to learn about Jesus, grow in their knowledge of the Bible, and discover what it means to trust Him through every part of life.

Sandra invites your children to come join the Belay Lifeline Class, where they will find a welcoming place to learn, grow, make friends, and experience the love of the Crestview Missionary Baptist Church family.

Pam Gothard faithfully serves Crestview Missionary Baptist Church in several important areas of ministry. She is the teacher of our R.E.A.L. Ladies Lifeline Class and also serves as our Music Director, using her gifts and talents to lead our church family in worship.

Pam has a heart for encouraging women to grow stronger in their relationship with the Lord and with one another. Through Bible study, meaningful discussion, prayer, and fellowship, the R.E.A.L. Ladies Lifeline Class provides a welcoming place where women can be themselves, share life together, and find encouragement through God’s Word.

Life can bring many different mountains to climb, and no woman was meant to face them alone. This class reminds ladies that through every season—the victories, struggles, changes, and challenges—Jesus Christ is our Lifeline, and there is strength in walking alongside other women of faith.

Pam’s love for the Lord is also reflected through her service as Crestview’s Music Director. Whether she is teaching God’s Word or leading our congregation in worship, her desire is to point others toward Christ and encourage them in their faith.

Pam invites you to come be a part of the R.E.A.L. Ladies Lifeline Class—a place to grow in God’s Word, build genuine friendships, encourage one another, and do REAL life together with Christ as our Lifeline.

Pastor Danny Chappell faithfully serves Crestview Missionary Baptist Church as our Senior Pastor and as the teacher of our Everest Adult Lifeline Class. He has a heart for sharing God’s Word and helping others grow in their knowledge, understanding, and relationship with the Lord.

As pastor and teacher, Brother Danny is committed to presenting biblical truth in a way that encourages believers to dig deeper into Scripture and apply God’s Word to their everyday lives. The Everest Lifeline Class offers adults a place to study the Bible, ask questions, enjoy fellowship, and encourage one another as they continue growing in their faith.

Mount Everest represents one of the greatest climbs a person can undertake. In our Christian walk, we also encounter mountains—times that challenge us, strengthen us, and call us to a deeper faith. We may not always know what lies ahead on the climb, but we know Who holds the rope. Through every peak and every valley, Jesus Christ is our Lifeline.

Brother Danny’s desire is to see people come to know Christ and then continue climbing—growing stronger and more firmly grounded in God’s Word with each step of their journey.

Whether you have been studying the Bible for many years or are simply looking for a place to begin, Brother Danny invites you to join the Everest Adult Lifeline Class and discover the encouragement, fellowship, and love found in the Crestview Missionary Baptist Church family.

Suzi has a special love for little ones and a heart for helping them take their very first steps in learning about Jesus. Through Bible stories, songs, activities, and lots of love and encouragement, she desires to help each child begin building a foundation of faith and grow in their knowledge of the Lord.

Our prayer is that every child will begin a lifelong journey of faith, learning from an early age that Christ is their Lifeline every step of the way.

Suzi, her husband Glen, and their son Lorenzo are all faithful members of the Crestview family. Together, they invite you and your family to come experience the love, fellowship, and welcoming spirit of Crestview Missionary Baptist Church.

BJ Masters has been a faithful member of Crestview Missionary Baptist Church for many years, serving the Lord and our church family in a variety of roles. BJ serves as our Adult Lifeline Class teacher, is a minister who brings thought-provoking messages from God’s Word.

BJ has a heart for teaching and encouraging others to dig deeper into Scripture. His Free Solo Lifeline Class provides adults with an opportunity to study God’s Word, ask questions, share experiences, and discover how biblical truths apply to the challenges of everyday life.

In mountain climbing, “free solo” describes climbing without ropes or assistance—but in the Christian life, we know we were never meant to climb alone. No matter how experienced we become or how difficult the path may be, our strength and security are found in Jesus Christ. The Free Solo class encourages adults to strengthen their personal walk with the Lord while remembering that Christ is always our Lifeline.

BJ and his wife, Janet, have raised their children in the Lord and have demonstrated true servants’ hearts through their faithful involvement at Crestview. Their lives reflect a desire to serve God, serve others, and see people grow in their knowledge and relationship with Him.
