Aaron Crider, Director of Youth and Family Ministries
Aaron came to us in November of 2018, after serving for almost 10 years in active ministry. He graduated from Westminster College in 2015 where he studied Christian Education and Interpersonal Communication. Aaron’s passion for ministry stems from a genuine love of people. When asked what inspires him, he responded, “Everyone has a story, and everyone is connected through relationships. Learning everyone’s story and fostering deeper and truer relationships gives me the greatest of joy.” Aaron is married to his wife of three years, Annaliese, and they have a daughter Roselyn. When asked to describe her husband for us, Annaliese used the phrase, “An energetic ball of positivity”. When not working in the office Aaron enjoys watching the cooking channel as well as trying his hand in the kitchen. He also likes spending time in nature as he enjoys the outdoors with his family. Aaron’s duties around the church are primarily focused in Family Ministry, though he has been known to do special music from time to time as well as preaching in the Senior Pastor's Absence. Would you like to get to know Aaron a little better? His office hours are Tuesday through Friday 9AM-4PM Phone: 724-714-4003 |
