Meet Our Staff
Bill Crawford - Interim Pastor
Hi! I’m Bill Crawford. I (and my wife Kathy) retired and returned to Michigan in 2022 after serving 12 years at a church in southern California. Prior to that, I pastored churches in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Wheaton, Illinois. Kathy was an elementary school teacher. Kathy and I have 3 adult children - a son and twin daughters. I love to play golf which I describe as like eating pizza: when it’s good, it’s good and when it’s bad, it’s still good. My E.F. Hutton is author C.S. Lewis. The Brooklyn Dodgers, now the Los Angeles Dodgers are my favorite Major League Baseball team. I write devotionals for Links Players, read daily by over 8,000 golfers. As interim pastor, I am in the church office every Tuesday and one other day a week, usually Thursday. You may email me at bill@ferrychurch.org .
Bill is the author of What God Knows About You, and what you should know about Him. Click here to read a free on-line copy.
Beth Wohlford - Pastor of Youth and Families
Hi, my name is Beth Wohlford, and I am the Youth and Families here at Ferry Church! I direct children’s ministry and youth group.
I have been in West Michigan since August 2020. I graduated with my B.A. in Youth Ministry from Trinity Christian College and my Master of Divinity from Calvin Theological Seminary. Growing up primarily in the Chicago suburbs, I love Michigan's beaches and hiking areas. Being outdoors is one of my favorite things. From the roaming turkeys to the view of the lakes, I've found White Lake to be a beautiful place to explore!
Continually cultivating a close, transformational relationship with God is something I believe to be vital. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to help others grow closer to God here at Ferry Church. I'd love to get to know you more—Whether you are a member at Ferry, or are interested in learning more about faith and/or the church. Please feel free to reach out to me to find a time to talk at Bethwohlford@ferrychurch.org.
