The Advantage Of The 2nd Chair - Eric Crawford

When those in the second chair embrace the unique privilege and power of serving alongside a lead pastor, they help their staff and church fulfill God’s purposes. Arguably, we play the most critical role in creating healthy culture, helping others embrace the lead pastor’s vision and positioning the church to become everything God intends it to be. So, let’s talk about it. 

Eric Crawford is the Executive Pastor at New City Church in Great Falls, MT, where he has served in full-time ministry for 17 years. He is passionate about leadership, discipleship, and helping others thrive in their God-given roles. Eric is married to Kelsey, and they have a daughter, Rowan.

We hope that this teaching left you more encouraged and equipped today. Ministers Fellowship International exists to help leaders build healthy, strong, impacting churches and to do so in a way that makes for a healthy leader.
