Felix Crowder
Felix Crowder was baptized in Jesus’ name and filled with the Holy Ghost in early June 1977 in Madison, Wisconsin, under the ministry of Pastor John W. Grant. In 1980, he was licensed as a minister with the United Pentecostal Church, the same year he graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a master’s degree in Landscape Architecture. He continued serving under Pastor Grant until September 1990, when he stepped out in faith with his family to begin full-time evangelistic ministry.
To date, Bro. Crowder has ministered in 37 states across the U.S. (as of 11/7/24) and has preached internationally in 14 countries, including Papua New Guinea, Australia, Canada, Norway, France, England, Latvia, Bolivia, Kenya, and throughout the Caribbean - Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, and Suriname. The Lord has blessed his ministry with a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit; during his most recent overseas trip to Guyana, 120 people received the Holy Ghost, contributing to the more than 12,500 who have been filled with the Spirit and many who have been baptized in Jesus’ name through his ministry over the years.
Bro. Crowder has witnessed people from ages 3 to 93 receive the Holy Ghost - individuals from diverse backgrounds, including Islam, atheism, and even Satanism. He has prayed with people not only in churches but also in hospitals, jails, parking lots, businesses, on streets, and even over the phone. His ministry has reached people across many nations, cultures, and walks of life.
He firmly believes in the born-again experience (John 3:3, 5) and the apostolic doctrine (Acts 2:38–43). He teaches that the Spirit, signs, and wonders are available to all who will believe, and that the power for healing, miracles, and deliverance resides in every born-again Christian, not only a select few. His desire is to impart faith that awakens this God-given ability in others.
Over the years, Bro. Crowder has seen the Lord heal many from various sicknesses and afflictions, and has witnessed countless people delivered from alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, depression, and unclean spirits.
He is married to Ida Crowder, and they share over 44 years of marriage, residing in Mansfield, Ohio. Their sons, Mark and Blessing, faithfully serve the Lord at their home church, while Jeremy and Zima pastor a church in Toledo. Bro. and Sis. Crowder are especially blessed with their precious granddaughters - Mirella, Emmanuella, and Isabella (from Mark and Blessing) and Zaylah and Zariah (from Jeremy and Zima).
Bro. Crowder currently bases his ministry out of Calvary Apostolic Church in Westerville, Ohio.
