The Way Church

Due to the icy roads we have decided to cancel our Sunday Gathering. We will be sending out a Family worship guide via email & encourage you to do that with your families tomorrow morning. If you are not on the email list comment or DM & we will get you added!

It is with great joy we share that John William Crawford will be joining us as our new preaching Pastor. We have already been so blessed by him, his wife Gracie & their two children and look forward to them joining us on January 1.

John William is a native of North Alabama, being born and raised in Lacey’s Spring. Prior to coming to The Way, he served on pastoral staffs in Alabama and Tennessee, as well as in various ministry internships, including in the United Kingdom. John William received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Spurgeon College and a Master of Divinity from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, MO. He is currently pursuing a Master of Theology in Historical and Systematic Theology from Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary in Owensboro, KY. He, also, serves as the Upper Bible Teacher at Decatur Heritage Christian Academy, teaching Old Testament, New Testament, and Systematic Theology.

While studying on-campus at MBTS, he met his wife, Gracie, a native Texan, and they were married in 2022. Together, they are joyfully the parents of John Charles and Evangeline. John William and Gracie enjoy spending time together as a family, reading, drinking coffee, watching movies, and traveling (when they can!). They are excited to join what God is doing at The Way.
