Welcome to the Hillcrest website! I am so thrilled to be a part of Hillcrest Baptist Church and that you decided to stop by and see what we’re about! As your pastor, I want to be sure to have clear communication with members and visitors. This page is dedicated to just that. Please check back often to hear from me or to get in touch with me. I look forward to hearing from you! Do check back often, as we will be adding new ways to worship, minister and motivate!

Ministry Leadership
Charlie began serving Hillcrest in March of 2020. He has served as a pastor in three previous congregations; his last pastorate in Louisville, KY was for 29 years. He is a graduate of Oakland City University with a BA in Biblical Studies and holds his Master’s from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with a focus on Pastoral Ministry and Christian Education.
Charlie and his wife Mendy have been married for 38 years. They both grew up in Michigan and have continued to be life-long Michigan fans. They have 3 daughters; Abbey, Elizabeth and Emily, and one son, Andrew, with one grandson, William. When not pastoring, Charlie enjoys gathering with his family, spending time on the gulf, playing golf and watching the University of Michigan. Go blue!

2025 Mission Offering
Goal – $225,000
Received to Date – $213,146.94
Our annual Mission Offering is essential to funding much of the work of making disciples for 2026. I want to URGE all of us to PARTICIPATE. If you have yet to make some kind of sacrificial gift, please prayerfully join in and play a part. We can always do more working together; it’s powerful when God’s people are unified and determine to pull together in the same direction.
You can give in ONE of TWO Ways; either make a ‘one-time sacrificial gift’ or you can make a ‘monthly commitment’ through 2026.
New Message Series
On Sunday, Jan 11th, I’m going to preach from Luke’s gospel (2:39 – 52) “About My Father’s Business.” From this message, in addition to being faithful to the text, my AIM is also to provide some pastoral perspectives of WHERE we are as a Church Family and some priorities for 2026.
Then on Sunday, Jan 18th, we will begin a new journey through 1st Peter (possibly 2nd Peter as well?). Peter addresses Christian recipients who were going through all manner of trials, tests and difficulties. His message was to encourage followers of Jesus to cling to their faith in Christ and to live with hope. He commends God’s people to devote themselves entirely to Jesus and remain faithful during times of distress.
New Year Mendy and I pray each of you have experienced a worshipful Christmas season and had the opportunity to gather with family. We also want to wish you a happy new year as we
begin our seventh year of serving together
