Pastor Crawford has served at St. Paul since 2013, the same year that he completed his seminary formation at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis and was ordained into the Holy Ministry. His great loves include his wife Katy, their four-legged butler Dunkin’, historic, beautiful, creative, liturgical worship, singing in the choir, running, hiking, and social visits to breweries and distilleries. Above all, Pastor Crawford loves that he gets to be the vehicle that God uses to bring the good news of Jesus’ redeeming love to sinners such as himself week after week.

His favorite Bible verse is John 6:40 – “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

In their free time, Pastor and Katy love to drink copious amounts of coffee, run the hills of Dubuque, and binge-watch Downton Abbey.
