Pastors & Elders

Brett Crump

Senior Pastor

I came to know Christ in 1993 and sensed a call to pastoral ministry right way. Nine years later I had the joy of beginning to serve NPBC. It continues to be a joy as I get to serve with other beloved friends and witness the Lord do great things in the lives of people.
As the primary teaching pastor, Pastor Brett has a passion for carefully unpacking the truths of Scripture. He has served at New Palestine Bible Church since September of 2002. He and his wife, Joanna, have two children, Jordan and Emily. Brett graduated from Indiana University with a BS in Management and Environmental Science and also received his Master’s Degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Brett used his undergrad degree in the field for several years before receiving his call to ministry. Since that time he has served faithfully as the Senior Pastor and all the areas of service that this entails at NPBC. In 2012, Brett received a sabbatical grant that he used to travel with his family to Europe and visit many historic Christian Reformation sites and then to Israel which continues to enhance his teaching.
