Pastor Warren Crudup, Jr.

I'm a Pentecostal pastor of the St. Paul Temple Church of God in Christ in Washington, D. C. I am a very laid back but serious minded gentleman with a heart full of unconditional love to give away. I am very open and honest about myself, both my strengths and weaknesses, my struggles and my triumphs. I expect the same from those with whom I communicate.My passion is Jesus! I love Him with every fiber of my being. I want to help others to love him as much as I do. As a result I seek to understand and communicate the relevance of relationship with Him in every facet of life. I especially want to reach those whose personal internal struggles make them feel isolated from the mainstream and whose sense of aloneness makes them feel that life has seemingly dealt them a bad hand. I've struggled too and perhaps I can bring some light and hope into your life.As an older man I bring a wealth of institutional knowledge about "church", its values and its traditions. I believe that you really can't appreciate where you are until you understand what happened before you got here. I want to pass on the best of those values and traditions so that they can be carefully integrated into current faith and practice. I therefore reach out especially to young adults who want to effect positive and progressive change in the "contemporary church."
