About

Bert Crabbe

I am a husband, father, church planter and the Lead Pastor of True North Community Church – Long Island, NY.

I grew up in Staten Island, where I attended college, earning a BA in English Lit from Wagner College.

I attended three different seminaries, eventually graduating from Bethel Seminary with an MDiv.  Bethel’s main campus is in St. Paul, MN., but I did most of my on-site work at their campus in San Diego, CA.  It was warmer there.  :)

After 15 years in youth ministry, I led the amazing team of people that planted True North Community Church.  Pastoring True North has been the adventure of a lifetime and I continue to wake up every morning excited to see what God’s going to do next!!

My wife Jen is the love of my life and together we have three beautiful kids.  I love being a pastor, but it pales in comparison to being a husband and a dad.

My personal mission is to Glorify God with my Life and to Influence Others to Do the Same.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.  I hope that what you find here will challenge, amuse, excite and encourage you.

Enjoy The Right Thing.
