Meet Pastor Keating
Adam Keating serves as Senior Pastor of the Crowley Seventh-day Adventist Church. He is passionate about helping people develop a growing relationship with Jesus, discover how God has gifted them, and actively participate in the life and mission of the church.
He believes the Christian life was never meant to be passive. Every believer is called, gifted, and sent. His ministry focuses on creating clear opportunities for people to grow spiritually, build meaningful relationships, serve others, and take their next faithful step with Christ.
Adam holds a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership. His research focused on pastoral resilience, leadership through adversity, and navigating organizational change. These areas shape his approach to ministry, leadership development, and equipping others to serve with clarity, faith, and perseverance.
Adam and his wife, Eva, have two sons, Grayson and Landon. Together, they are grateful to serve, worship, and grow alongside the Crowley church family. Their desire is to build a life and ministry that reflects the character of Christ and helps others experience the hope, purpose, and belonging found in Him.
Meet Pastor Tsatalbasidis
Dino Tsatalbasidis joins the Crowley pastoral staff as an associate pastor after spending two years studying at the Adventist Theological Seminary in Michigan. Prior to this he served as an associate pastor for three years in the Texas Conference, and he is excited to transition from his studies back into pastoral ministry at the Crowley Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Pastor Dino is passionate about living a life of spiritual devotion to God and sharing spiritual blessings with others through Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and pastoral care. He enjoys discipling and mentoring young people, and feels strongly that the best decision a young person can make is a lifelong commitment to following Jesus. He values preaching authentically, encouraging strong marriages and families, and studying transformative doctrinal truths in God’s Word.
Pastor Dino is happily married to Aribelle, the love of his life, his biggest supporter, and his favorite person in the whole wide world. Together they both feel the calling to serve God and uplift those around them in loving ministry. Pastor Dino enjoys spending time with his wife, exercising, and listening to music.
Meet Pastor Santa Cruz
Dr. José Luis Santa Cruz delights in teaching, visiting people, and preaching the Gospel.
Throughout his ministry, he served in Bolivia, Peru, Burkina Faso, Burundi, and the USA in various capacities, such as district pastor, departmental director, Mission president, professor, and dean of the school of theology.
His greatest desire is to see the church united and growing, following the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, to reflect the character of Jesus Christ in his preparation to receive Him at His second coming.
He and his wife, Elizabeth, have three grown-up children: Daniel, married to Jamie; Elizabeth, married to Claudio Japas; and Gabriel, married to Kimmie. They have formed beautiful families and have given them seven precious grandchildren: Annelise (10), Giselle (9), Naila (9), Caleb (7), Mattías (7), Steffan (4), and Sylvie (8 months).
