Bowen ministers to our children, ages K-5th grades. He is the proud father of three children (and believes that a father’s highest calling is raising and leading Godly children.) His passion is leading kids to Jesus and teaching them that they are loved by God, and that God has a destiny for them. He knows that when you introduce a child to Christ, they are more likely to walk in that relationship for a lifetime than if they come to Christ at a later age.
A native of Jacksonville, Pastor Bowen got his undergraduate degree from the University of North Florida with a B.B.A. in Marketing and Real Estate. He later graduated from the Institute of Professional Youth Ministry and has served as a youth pastor, a worship leader and led mission trips. (He also served for six years on the executive board and in the monthly production of YouthQuake Live). He is a mentor to dads and leads a weekly men’s breakfast fellowship. He enjoys surfing, fishing, and hunting and says that the biggest game he ever bagged was his trophy wife. He and Lissa serve together at CRC to minister to the spiritual needs of today’s busy families.
