Bayou Christian

A bayou is defined as a slow moving body of water, yet it is full of life and ever changing from day to day. A Christian is a follower of the Way of Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Bayou Christian seeks to be thoughtful, full of life, and gradually growing in the grace of Christ. The Bayou Christian is Bill Crawford, Pastor First Presbyterian Church of Thibodaux

About Me

My Photo
Bill Crawford
I'm a Child of the God Most High, a husband of one wife (Julia), father of three children under the age of 7 (yeah I know), I am Pastor of a Congregation of the Church, within the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. I am an avid fisherman. I grew up fishing. I was born in Louisiana, I'm a life long Saints fan, and I'm an expert on most anything I happen to be speaking about at the time. Did I mention I love to fish?
