Serve at Crieve Hall

At Midtown Fellowship, we recognize that as we are transformed by the work of Jesus on our behalf we are compelled to become agents of this work in the lives of the people around us. We understand that loved people love people. The more we experience our own transformation, we cannot help but seek to encourage, support, and champion this process in the lives of the people around us. In this way, we seek to go on mission with Jesus for the sake of the world around us. We are compelled to act.

Creating a Movement

As we act, we are guided by our mission statement: “To create a movement of gospel transformation through multiple congregations.” This statement guides our efforts in two specific ways as we seek to live missional lives in the world around us.

We invite you to start living a missional life. If you have questions about how to get involved please email [email protected].

Gospel Transformation

We believe it is a primary responsibility of the church to “equip the saints for works of ministry” (Ephesians 4). That means we focus much of our energy on training our people to understand who they are, what they have, and how to leverage all of that in order to impact the places where God has specifically called them.
Multiple Congregations

We believe God has called us as congregations to the neighborhoods and communities, where we meet. We desire to step into these areas not only to serve as a place for spiritual growth but for emotional and physical growth as well. It’s a tangible place for us to be the physical representation of our God to individuals in these communities.

Ways to Serve at Crieve Hall

These are opportunities where we invite all of our people to live missional lives—as youth, families and groups.

Kidtown Team

Kidtown volunteers serve the youngest in our community by sharing the gospel and loving them each week during the service. We have a hope that 100% of our congregation would serve in Kidtown each year. Email Pauli Wear to learn how to serve in Kidtown.
