About
Hi, I'm
Ty Crowder.
Pastor. Strategist. Husband. Father. I exist to glorify Jesus and help His Church thrive in a digital age.
16+
Years in Ministry
My Story
My call to ministry came early and never left. Over the past 16+ years, I've served the Church in nearly every role — worship pastor, children's pastor, youth pastor, young adult pastor, and executive pastor. Today I have the honor of serving as Lead Pastor at Living Free Franklin in Franklin, Kentucky.
Alongside ministry, I've spent over 15 years in the tech and creative space — IT infrastructure, web and app development, graphic design, photography, and videography. What started as a side skill set became a calling of its own: helping churches, non-profits, and small businesses use digital tools to reach more people and build healthy, lasting organizations.
I believe the local church is the hope of the world, and that the digital tools we often treat as distractions can actually be some of our greatest assets for ministry — when they're used with wisdom, intention, and a pastoral heart.
"Be still, and know that I am God."
— Psalm 46:10 · The verse that anchors my life
I'm blessed to be a husband and a father to three incredible boys. When I'm not preaching, consulting, or creating, you'll find me with a book in hand, guitar in lap, or soaking up time with my family. I'd love to connect with you.

Statement of Faith
I believe in one God, eternally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that salvation is found in Him alone. I believe the Church is called to be a family marked by grace, truth, and love, and that our job is simple: love God, love people, and make disciples. I am for unity in the essentials, grace in the non-essentials, and love in all things.
Let's connect.
