Our Pastor is Rev. Gene L. Crow. Pastor Gene was born in Fresno, California, and raised in Southern California. In his younger years, he and his family attended a local Pentecostal church.
In his early twenties, as a member of a Southern Gospel band, he met his future wife Cindy. After they were married, the Crows began attending a local Calvary Chapel, where Gene first began to sense a call to the pastoral ministry.
During this time, he was also, by the providence of God, introduced to Reformed theology. This eventually necessitated his and Cindy’s departure from Calvary. They landed in a Christian Reformed Church, which shortly thereafter left the CRC and joined the United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA).
A few years later, Gene left his career as a Systems Analyst and began attending Westminster Seminary in California. After graduation, he was ordained in the URC. He has since served congregations in the URC in Chino, CA., Muskegon, MI., and an Orthodox Christian Reformed congregation in Canada.
In April of 2008, he and Cindy moved back to California, to Redding, where they now live and where Gene serves the congregation of Redding Reformed Fellowship as a minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
