Welcome to the Park Crest Baptist Church online! We are excited that you are taking the time to visit. Thank you for your interest. On this site, you will find ministry information, our stand on scripture, an area being prepared to house audio and video of our services and much more. I hope that this web site will be a help to you.
At this time we are paying close attention to the disaster in Haiti. I have been able to stay in touch with our Baptist Bible Fellowship (BBFI) Missionaries in the Dominican Republic - Tom Franklin, Wes Lane and Greg Kent. Due to his history in Haiti, Wes Lane is making a major effort to get into the country and check on Ministries, pastors and the people. We will keep in touch with you on this site and pass along what we have heard coming from the ones there.
Special Project Offering Notice:
We are receiving special offerings for the Haitian Relief Project run through our missionaries in that area. I am glad to report to you that as of Feb. 3, 2010 the people of Park Crest Baptist have given over $3200.
We are blessed to be a blessing. Praise the Lord.
Pastor Phil - Feb. 4, 2010

"We want to take a minute and update the information we sent yesterday and give you as much detail as possible as to the plans unfolding here in the Dominican Republic and in Haiti.
BucketFull of Hope
As many of you have probably already heard, on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 a massive Earthquake occurred in Haiti. Their capital, Port-au-Prince has been destroyed with hospitals, homes and major buildings collapsing. Many have no where to go and nothing to survive with. We are just a few hundred miles from the disaster here in the Dominican Republic and although our church in Tamboril is in its infancy, along with our Haitian mission in Don Pedro we have decided to begin assembling "BucketsFull of Hope" today by simply filling them with a list of everyday items that can be purchased here and used to fill immediate needs. Obviously these buckets will do more than just take care of physical needs, we also want to let these families know they have not been forgotten and will be placing special tracts in Creol inside so they can discover the eternal hope of Jesus' love. The "BucketsFull of Hope" will be well marked with our Non-Profit Associations (Familia Avance: Las Iglesias Biblicas Bautistas) logo in Spanish and its Creol address destination on the outside so as to facilitate its transport. The "BucketFull of Hope" will supply a family of four for at least three days with items readily available for purchase here in the Dominican Republic. We plan to have over 100 ready by the end of the week (Taking a step of faith) and are working on automating the process with nationals in our church so that future "BucketsFull of Hope" can be purchased, filled and sent without our presence. As soon as a Warehouse is rented by Wesley Lane in the lower Delma region of Port-au-Prince (3 miles from the Airport) Pastor Jean Dial, Regina and I will make the initial trip in with the cargo from Santo Domingo crossing through Anse-a-Pitre "Pedemales" in trucks with Haitian plates."
