Meet the Pastors

Bishop Crest was powerfully saved at the age of 23,  in Holy Light Church of Deliverance, led by Bishop Samuel L. Carruth.  He served in several ministries at Holy Light Church until the Lord led him to establish MTC.   He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theology. 

On November 21, 1999, More Than Conquerors Church held its first service in Virginia Beach.   MTC has since initiated various ministry efforts, including outdoor community events, live streaming, street evangelism, and several mission trips to Belize and Nicaragua.  Bishop Crest and MTC currently provide coverage and support for ministry efforts in Belize.  

Bishop Crest passionately loves all people with the love of Christ.  He believes in the power of prayer, as the scriptures declare in James 5:16: "The fervent, effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much."   

Senior Pastor Sharon Crest was appointed to serve as More Than Conquerors Church's Senior Pastor [ October 2022]. Before that, she held numerous positions at MTC.  She has held several pastoral positions, including Executive Pastor, Youth Pastor, and Co-Pastor.

She attended Rock Church Bible College, where she received an Associate's degree in Ministerial Studies.  Pastor Sharon ministered alongside Bishop Crest to Mayan Indians in remote jungle villages in Belize, as well as feeding the hungry in Nicaragua.  

William and Sharon have been married for over 37 years, and have been blessed with two sons and several grandchildren.  

More Than Conquerors Church is a covenant member of the National Pastors Fellowship Assemblies under the auspices of the Chief Prelate, Bishop Samuel L. Carruth.
