Deacons love to walk alongside others in working through justice and mercy situations and questions in our daily life. In our church, deacons are called by God to teach us to ‘be merciful, engage in faithful stewardship of our gifts (time, talents and money), be compassionate, and be critics of waste, injustice and selfishness in our society and be sensitive counselors to the victims of such evils.’
We have four deacons at Crestview Church who seek to champion these things for our faith community: Eric Erickson, Karen Eifler, Linda Muhle, and Barb Tinklenberg.
To contact any of the deacons, email us at office@crestviewchurch.org and indicate DEACON in the subject line.

Karen Eifler
I grew up in Boulder, Colorado and have been attending Crestview Church since 2013. I adore this loving Church community! This is my second term serving as Deacon and I am called to serve the Lord in this way. I am recently retired and I am looking forward to spending more time with my grandchildren, traveling and spending time with my family and friends.
Linda Muhle
I have lived most of my life in Colorado. I love it here and never get tired of the beautiful mountains God created. I started watching Crestview services online during COVID, thanks to Julie Huffaker, and have been at Crestview since 2021. I believe that the community at Crestview is a wonderful Christian family full of faith, love, and support.
Eric Erickson
I’ve enjoyed living in Boulder for many decades, and I’m thankful to have been a member of Crestview for most of them.
I am thankful and grateful to have the opportunity to serve our church community as a deacon.
