Bio

Marc Crabtree, a graduate of Alliance University and student at Israel Institute for Biblical Studies, started serving in his local church as a member of the media team and small group leader. He met his wife, Jennifer (a librarian and head of the Children’s Department at the West Windsor Library), while she was a member of the worship team at the church. Marc is a father to Brianna & Annabeth. His family’s verse is Jeremiah 29:11. Pastor Marc grew up in Metuchen, spent most of his adult life in Burlington County, and has been a Hamilton resident since 2016.

He has a deep passion for first responders (after serving as a volunteer firefighter in Lumberton for several years) and veterans, since serving as a chaplain of Rolling Thunder (a veteran non-profit support group) and New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation. He has been pastoring in different capacities since 2022.

Pastor Marc has a desire to see young people and families cultivate a deep and strong relationship with Christ and feels the key to raising up young adults to be strong leaders in their communities, churches, and families is through sound mentorship.
