Spreading Faith & God’s Word on the Florida Gulf

We are a Church in the beautiful Gulf town of Crystal River, Florida. We believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and that everyone is essential to God. Our Church is a part of the Global Methodist community, all are welcome regardless of their background or beliefs.

Founded in the late 1880s, Crystal River Community Church ministers to the people of Citrus County, Florida, and beyond in Jesus’ name. Today, the church continues its rich traditions, bringing glory to God through worship and service. Our vision for Crystal River Community Church is to be a connected family empowered by the Holy Spirit in our ministry of discipleship.
