History:
Hillcrest Baptist Church was founded in 1912 as Palatka Heights Baptist Church. The present building was constructed in the 1950s and the name changed to Hillcrest at that time. The church stands strongly for scriptural doctrine on missions, and is an active member of the St. Johns River Baptist Association.
