THE REV. Andrew L. Crowson

Assistant Priest

Father Drew is currently serving as Associate Priest, working on volunteer recruitment strategies and assisting with liturgical duties. He is also a church planter for the Diocese of Dallas, working towards launching an Episcopal church in Celina in the coming years.

With an extensive background in youth ministry, his previous roles as Young Adults and High School Minister at the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas, Campus Life Area Director for Youth For Christ in East Alabama, YouthCompass Community Director in Düsseldorf, Germany, and leading a Gap Year program around the globe have given Drew a experience in cultivating in cross-cultural community groups.

His educational journey includes a Master of Arts in Christian Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Denver Seminary and a Certificate in Anglican Studies from Wycliffe College. He was ordained to the Sacred Order of Priests on August 17, 2024, by The Rt. Rev. Dr. George R. Sumner, Bishop of Dallas.

Drew is married to Sarah, and they have three wonderful children. He is a fan of cycling, basketball, and the Auburn Tigers. He looks forward to continuing to grow and serve alongside the congregation at St. Paul’s.

Keri has a passion for helping children discover their gifts and talents. She comes to us most recently from her previous position of director of an aftercare program, and has a strong background in managing students with compassion.

Her training in addressing children with special needs is an asset to our program and our students. Keri is excited to get back into the classroom and help our students grow and thrive.

She and her family are also members of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and are very supportive of this ministry, having watched it grow from the very beginning.

CLIFF THOMPSON

Music Director

I’m a North Texas native. My wife, Janelle, and I have lived on the 380 “corridor” since 2005. We grew up in a different Christian tradition but shortly before our son was born, God showed us the beauty of liturgical worship through an Anglican wedding. This set us on the path to Confirmation and eventually brought us to St. Paul’s. Here we’ve grown from simply seeing the beauty of the liturgy to understanding what it means to live a Eucharistic life.

I believe music is a crucial and inescapable part of being human. We are created to worship and that inevitably involves music. I’m privileged to have been part of music at St. Paul’s from early on. The musicians and vocalists here at St. Paul’s joyfully offer up our musical talents to complete the expression of worship laid out in our liturgy and preaching. We hope those who join us experience modern worship set in ancient tradition.
