For six decades, Hillcrest Church has stood as a steadfast pillar of the Wagoner community, providing a consistent and trustworthy place of worship for generations of families. Since our founding 60 years ago, we have remained committed to the unchanging truths of God’s Word and the traditional values that define our town. At Hillcrest, you aren’t just visiting a church—you are joining a family. From the moment you step inside, you become a part of our living legacy of faith and local devotion. Our doors and our hearts are open, offering you and your loved ones a trustworthy, supportive home to grow in for years to come.

Our Leadership

Believers who invest their hearts, time, families, and finances in the building of a local church deserve to have confidence in church leadership. People are looking for leaders who conduct themselves with integrity and respect when making decisions that affect their lives.

At Hillcrest Church, we take this responsibility to heart. We believe that leadership is a sacred trust, and we are committed to serving the Wagoner community with transparency, prayerful wisdom, and a deep love for the Lord.

A Season of Faithful Teaching

Hillcrest is currently in a season of leadership transition, and we are incredibly blessed to have Preacher Andy Nichols and Preacher Scott Ruff filling our pulpit and leading our services.

Both Brother Andy and Brother Scott are gifted speakers with a profound heart for the Gospel. Their preaching is not just heard—it is felt. They share a wealth of wisdom and a genuine warmth, rooted in a lifelong devotion to upholding the unchanging heart of the Gospel. We are grateful for the way they faithfully bring God’s Word to life each week, providing our church family with a steady anchor during this time of growth.

Our Deacons and Servant Leaders

While our leadership structure may be in transition, our mission remains unchanged. We are immensely grateful for our amazing Deacons and local leaders who faithfully serve behind the scenes to make the vision of Hillcrest Church a reality.

These are men and women of integrity who conduct themselves with the utmost respect for our congregation. They are the hands and feet of our ministry, ensuring that every decision made is rooted in prayer and focused on the well-being of our church family.

Trust Rooted in Faith

We know that trust isn't given; it’s earned. Even in seasons of change, our foundation remains the same: Jesus Christ is the Head of this church. We invite you to get to know our leaders, ask questions, and see firsthand the integrity and love that drive our ministry.

At Hillcrest, you can have confidence that your family is being led by those who truly care for your soul.
