Our Pastoral Team
Our pastoral team at Crowley Seventh-day Adventist Church is dedicated to serving you. With a focus on servant leadership, we aim to lead our community by example
Meet Pastor Keating
Adam Keating serves as Senior Pastor of the Crowley Seventh-day Adventist Church, where he is passionate about helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus and actively live out their faith through service.
He believes the Christian life was never meant to be passive. Every believer is called, gifted, and sent. His leadership focuses on creating clear pathways for people to engage in ministry, develop their spiritual gifts, and participate in the mission of the church in meaningful ways.
His academic work in organizational leadership, particularly in the area of resilience and leading through change, informs how he equips both students and church members to lead with clarity, conviction, and faith.
Adam and his wife, Eva, along with their two sons, Grayson and Landon, are grateful to serve and grow alongside the Crowley church family. Their shared desire is to build a life and ministry that reflects the character of Christ and helps others take meaningful next steps in their walk with Him.
Meet Pastor Powell
Nathan Powell has enjoyed a variety of ministry opportunities like, canvassing, Bible working, being a boys dean at a boarding academy, and quite a few overseas short term and longer term mission trips. He is passionate about people, especially youth and young adults, personally knowing our loving Savior and living a life for Him!
His desire is that each of us will taste and see the joy that is found in getting to know and serving Jesus for ourselves! Matthew 24:13
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.
