Ministers

	Michael Bowen Assistant Youth Minister Hello, there! I’m Michael Bowen, the assistant youth minister at Crieve Hall. I grew up here in Tennessee and graduated from Freed-Hardeman University in 2006. Since then, my wife, Kris, and I have lived here in Nashville, serving this congregation. My ministry at Crieve Hall mainly involves working with the children in 6^th through 12^th grade by teaching and mentoring them. I accompany them on mission trips and retreats and I work with Tim Frizzell, the youth minister, to facilitate spiritual maturity in the young people of our congregation. I love working with this age group and it is my sincere desire that they grow to be the kind of people Christ would have them be. Click here to email Michael.

I am an assistant to Tim Frizzell, helping with youth activities and also serve as the director of the HiSTEP program, which trains teenagers to be Bible class teachers. I received both my bachelors and masters degrees from Lipscomb University, and I teach 6th grade at David Lipscomb Campus School.

Crieve Hall has meant the world to me and I feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful church family. I have a huge admiration for Tim and Michael and the great work they do. I feel that our youth are definitely being led in the right direction as they grow up here at Crieve Hall. I am especially proud of the HiSTEP program and the experience and training it offers our youth. Through this program they become better teachers, role models, and servants for Christ.

	Bill Watkins Pulpit Minister I was born in Georgia and raised in Tennessee. I am the son of a gospel preacher (James Watkins) and my brother (Alan) and I are both preachers. I married Beverly, the daughter of a preacher (Lynn Cook), and have been married 35 years. We have 5 children, 2 boys (Jim and Michael) and 3 girls (Tiffany, Angela, and Rachel), and fifteen grandchildren. I was formally educated at Freed-Hardeman University, David Lipscomb University, Southern Christian University, and Florida International University. I was really educated through growing up with 3 siblings; preaching at churches in Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas; learning from my parents and parents-in-law; observing my wife's willingness and wisdom; and attempting to raise five remarkable and remarkably different children. I have been one of the ministers of the Crieve Hall Church of Christ since March 6, 2005. I love being with my family and working with the church. Preaching is not my career. Like being a husband and a father, it is my life-choice and my joy. Click here to email Bill.
