Who We Are

Hillcrest Youth Group is made up of a variety of students and leaders that, above all, want to make God look good!

We have students -grades 6-12- from all over Chautauqua County representing numerous schools such as (deep breath!) Jamestown, Falconer, Southwestern, Panama, Randolph, Maple Grove, Cassadega, Frewsburg, Persell, Jefferson, Washington… (Phew!)

Through weekly gatherings and other events, we seek to portray Christ, Compassion, and Community while making sure we enjoy ourselves in the process!

Jerry McCann

18th Jan

Jerry is the Sr. Pastor at Hillcrest and has stepped up to lead the Jr. High guys small group!

He's not as intimidating as one might think and the students are learning to love him as a mentor, not just a pastor.

Stephanie McCraw

Stephanie and her husband Josh have lived in Jamestown most of their lives and this is her first full year as the Jr. High girls small group leader.

She's an amazing addition to the team, helping out with worship and connecting so well with students!
