The following men have been set aside by Crystal Valley Baptist Church as biblical pastors, and assigned the responsibility of teaching the word of God and caring for the spiritual needs of the congregation.

Tim is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Leadership and Ministry at Central Baptist College in Conway, Arkansas. Tim and his wife Jamie reside in Maumelle, Arkansas.

Our Undershepherds

One of the great duties of biblical church leadership is to diligently and humbly prepare to one day be replaced (2 Timothy 2:2). At Crystal Valley Baptist, our pastors are committed to identifying the call to ministry, as well as cultivating those gifts associated with the call to ministry in the next generation. Crystal Valley Baptist Church has been given the privilege of ministering with, or formerly ministering with, the following men:

Stephen Bean

	Stephen joined Crystal Valley Baptist Church in the Fall 0f 2007. He is a student of Moody Bible Institute pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in biblical studies. After joining the church, Stephen was quickly recognized as possessing potential gifts pertinent to pastoral ministry. He was soon invited to serve as an Undershepherd for the pastors and is receiving hands-on training as he waits for confirmation from the church of his true call to ministry. Stephen resides in Little Rock, Arkansas.
