Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.
I am delighted to be in ministry with the wonderful congregation here at First UMC Crowley. Our people are a warm and welcoming church committed to the love of God and neighbor.
We invite you to join us in worship, study, prayer and service.
May God richly bless you,
Pastor Mary Gean
