About the Youth Ministers

 
Tim Frizzell
Youth & Family Minister

"Hi, I am Tim Frizzell and it is my privilege to work with the youth and families at Crieve Hall church of Christ.  I am married to Janie and we have two children: Andy and Betsy.  Andy is married to Ashley (Parker) Frizzell and they live in Cookeville, TN where Andy serves the Willow Avenue church of Christ as Youth Minister. Betsy is a student at Freed-Hardeman University.

I have enjoyed working in youth and family ministry for nearly 25 years with two great congregations in Nashville: Jackson Park and Crieve Hall.  I want to invite you to visit with us soon.  The youth and families at Crieve Hall church of Christ have been a great blessing to me and my family.  I hope you will find the same to be true for you."

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 6th through 12th 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.

 
 
Albert Thweatt 
Assistant Youth Minister

Hello.  My name is Albert Thweatt and I have been a member at Crieve Hall for 32 years (all my life!).  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 LipscombUniversity, and I teach 6th grade at David Lipscomb Campus School.  I have been married to my wife, Susan since 2000 and we have two sons - Carter who was born in 2001, and Max who was born in 2004.

 
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.
