My name is Chris. By the grace of God, I am a follower of Jesus and am privileged to have been called to serve as the Pastoral-Elder of His Church at Markdale Baptist Church. I am also teaching Church History part-time at Toronto Baptist Seminary. I am passionate about discipling people to know the One who said, I came that they might have “life and life to the fullest” (John 10:10), humility before Christ and His Word, and gleaning wisdom from the history of His Church (Heb 13:7). 

I was born and raised in rural Elgin Co., ON., and came to faith in Jesus at a young age; following Him ever since has been the greatest adventure of my life. Since 2006 I have been married to Rebekah, with whom I attended primary school. We have one son, Digory.

Rebekah also came to faith at a young age. She has a background in history and early years and now enjoys being a full-time mum. Apart from family and ministry, she enjoys crafts, gardening, reading and a good cup of tea!

From 2008–2014 we served in rural ministry in Ontario while I concurrently served as a Canadian Army Reserve Force Chaplain. From 2014–2019 we had five especially happy years of ministry service in a chapel in rural England, all the while I pursued further studies. Since the autumn of 2019 it has been our privilege to call Markdale Baptist Church home.

Aside from quality family life, ministry and Christian academia, I delight in many common gifts the Lord has blessed us with. I am a fourth generation beekeeper, an avid outdoorsman and lover of adventure. I enjoying running and jogging. I also enjoy travel, carpentry, gardening, music, strategy games, history, geography and good conversation.  
​
I look forward to how I may minister to you in the Lord and continuing to put down roots in Markdale!
​
The Lord’s Sweetest Blessings,
Christopher W. Crocker
Pastoral-Elder, Markdale Baptist Church
(M.Div., M.A., PhD.)
