About
Rev. Crystal Elliott-O'Connor
One thing that Rev. Crystal is eternally grateful for is growing up "in the church". While this may not be a desirable thing to many, Rev. Crystal has a keen understanding that her salvation and calling was designed and wrought by God, but left to her own devices, she may have never chosen that good and proper path for her own life. Growing up in the community of believers not only covered and sheltered her at times, but she learned early that the safest place in the whole wide world is truly in the will of Jesus Christ!
Born and raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Rev. Crystal had enjoyed more than 20 years in early childhood education and leadership when God called her to Northern Theological Seminary. There she pursued a Master of Divinity degree and graduated as the first African American female to receive the Bryan F. Archibald Preaching Award, in 2016.With a love for God and a sincere heart for people Rev. Crystal seeks most to show people that God walks with us through our entire lives in real and close relationship!
What I DO
Serving God Through Connecting with Others
Rev. Crystal Elliott-O'Connor truly loves people! She is deeply curious about "what makes people tick" because she understands that the Word of God is living, and connects with people's real lives in order to spring up in them and bring love, joy, peace and deliverance!
