Welcome
On behalf of the Music Ministry, we are glad you’ve chosen to be a part of this ministry here at Hillcrest Baptist Church. We are glad that God has put in your heart the desire to minister the songs of Zion to the people.
Our Pastor, Rev. Dr. Adron Robinson’s vision is:

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” ~Colossians 3:16-17
