Reverend John Crabtree

Pastor John was raised outside of Knoxville and attended the University of Tennessee. He got his Master’s degree from Duke Divinity School and has been a pastor for 24 years. Gayle, his wife of 31 years, is also a pastor who is not currently serving a church. They have two married daughters, one working with homeless teens in Lexington, Kentucky, and the other working as a nonprofit coordinator in Socorro, New Mexico. They enjoy travel, reading, and photography.
John and Gayle are deeply involved in church life at First as well as serving in our Johnson County, Tennessee. They serve on committees to help all the citizens. Both are part of the recovery efforts from hurricane Helene. Assessment shows that it will take at least ten years to overcome all the devastation.
