We are happy to announce that Pastor Michael Crawford recently joined our Chaplain Unit!

The City of Eden Prairie’s volunteer Police & Fire Chaplain Unit was started in 1992 to provide a ministry of presence to community members and public safety responders in times of need. They serve on-call, responding to car accidents, deaths, fires and other emergencies, and provide emotional and spiritual care to those affected.  

Pastor Crawford serves as the pastor of the Special Needs and Disability Ministry at Grace Church in Eden Prairie. In this role, Pastor Crawford provides spiritual support to individuals and families affected by disabilities. Pastor Crawford is originally from Texas and has resided in Minnesota since 2010. He graduated from Bethel Seminary in 2015 with a master's degree in ministry practice. He is also a fitness enthusiast and enjoys just about any type of physical activity. Pastor Crawford and his wife Latosha have been married for almost 10 years and they have two small children. They reside in Eden Prairie.

Welcome to the EPPD, Pastor Crawford!
