Under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Grace Baptist Church is led by two pastors, served by four deacons, and governed by the congregation. Our lead pastor's profile is below.

Brandon Crawford became the lead pastor of Grace Baptist Church in September of 2010. He holds the Master of Divinity degree from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary (Allen Park, MI) and the Master of Theology and Doctor of Philosophy (cand.) degrees from Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (Grand Rapids, MI).

As our lead pastor, Brandon oversees the discipleship of our congregation and our outreach into the community. He engages in weekly preaching and teaching, administers the ordinances of baptism & communion, provides spiritual counsel to individuals and families, supervises the various ministries of our church, and ensures that our church is remaining faithful to its doctrine and mission.

In addition to his pastoral responsibilities, Brandon also regularly contributes to our local newspaper and to magazines, books, and journals on the topics of religion and theology. He is also a casual hospital & hospice chaplain and he serves on the editorial team of Particular Baptist Heritage Books, a publishing ministry working to retrieve the best of the Baptist literary heritage.

He and his wife Melanie were married in 2006, and they have two children.
