Making Room Campaign 

Crest Community Church has ministered in the University/UCR neighborhood of Riverside for more than 20 years. We are excited about two recent areas of growth and expanded opportunities:

Crest’s attendance has increased and resulted in overcrowded classroom space for our nursery, children and youth. We urgently need space to accommodate the needs of our ministries.

Olive Crest, a ministry to families in crisis, will break ground in 2026 on 11 small homes on Crest’s property. These homes will serve aged-out foster youth and other vulnerable populations. In addition to putting our land to use, this partnership will result in a shared faculty with classrooms for Crest’s children & youth ministries.

hospitable pathways and landscaping that integrates the space between the two ministries
Goal: $40,000

temporary classroom space to alleviate overcrowding during Crest Cottages construction, and a new outdoor play area for our babies and toddlers
Goal: $82,000

integrated audio-visual system that will enhance community life and streamline the planning/execution of worship gatherings

As Passion Center ministries expand throughout our sister churches, they need a place for the kids to meet. A multipurpose shelter provides protection from the elements & gives a place for Passion kids, Champs, & our ECD kids to meet. Crest will fund one such building
Goal: $8,000
