Pastor Crass told his teacher he wanted to be a pastor in second grade. He didn’t know how to do the job or how much schooling he’d have to finish, but he knew Jesus loved him and he loved Jesus. That knowledge followed him to high school at Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, Wisconsin (graduated 2014). After much encouragement from his high school faculty, he continued on to study to become a pastor at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN (graduated 2018). He finished his studies at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI in the spring of 2022 and was called to serve Peace Lutheran.
Pastor Crass married his wife Jamie (they met in high school) on August 13th, 2021. In September 2023, Pastor and Jamie welcomed their first child, Ava. Pastor enjoys playing golf, watching football, taking care of his yard and catching some live music with friends. He is proud to call Aiken his home as Peace serves the community by bringing Real Peace to Real People.
 
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ..." -Romans 5:1

God holds the leadership of his church to high standards in Scripture. At Peace, we call our elders to be servant-leaders. These men lead by exemplifying the self-sacrificial love that Christ showed for His Church. They think of God first, others second, and themselves last. This is Christian leadership.
