Reverend
Crawford, showing himself approved before God received his Bachelor of
Arts degree in Pastoral Studies from the Washington Bible
College. He has served at many levels during his walk with
Christ.
In 1996, his heart was convicted that it was
God’s will for him to plant a new church; one with a
different look and feel, than traditional church ministries. He felt the need to move from a
pastor-dominated environment to a pastor-facilitated environment that
would be interactive - where people contribute to their own process of
change; where contemporary praise and worship, real life
stories and relevant preaching dominate the environment; and a place
where people are motivated to run a better race for Christ.
Pastor Crawford looks for this kind of ministry to not only produce
change and growth within the body of New Vision, but to also give birth
to new churches in key communities across the Washington DC
Metropolitan area.
He serves as the leader for a group of
pastors in the Maryland area that promotes church planting. Pastor Crawford also has
partnered with pastors in the Bowie area that seek to promote unity,
diversity and the expansion of the gospel of Christ. New Vision is in
partnership with a conference whose primary goal is to plant churches
and spread the good news throughout all communities.
Pastor Ron, believes that
making scripture personal is key to one’s relationship with
Christ. One of his personal favorites is Luke 6:38, “Give
and it will be given to you…”
He believes, if the church conveys the multifaceted grace of God in
relevant ways to people, then ministries cannot help but receive
God’s selective blessings and promote a kingdom where Christ
reigns as king.
The ministry of New Vision is doing all that it can through
God’s empowerment to make that a reality.
