Neil Crowell

Director of Discipleship Ministries • ncrowell@seasideumc.org

I joined the staff in February of 2022 after serving at a non-denominational church in Florida for six years, and as a local pastor of the Western North Carolina Conference of the UMC from 2002 to 2015.  I have been married to Rebekah since December of 2000, and have two amazing daughters; Kathleen and Emily, along with the two most spoiled dogs in Sunset Beach; Minnie, and Belle. I love to play golf and fish, even though I am not good at either one!

Favorite Scripture Verse: Colossians 3: 5-17 "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.  Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.  And whatever you do whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Favorite Restaurant: Bennett's Grill in Calabash, but only until Tony's Pizza opens up again.

Favorite Vacation Spot: My favorite places to relax are anywhere around an ocean or being in the mountains.
