Pastor Neville Crawford and Minister Crawford - Senior Pastor & First Lady

After witnessing the miraculous healing of their son, Neville and  Carol Crawford gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Under the ministry of Bishop B. S.E. Dyer, in Independence City, Jamaica, these fine people were elevated of the Lord to the position of Deacon Neville Crawford and Evangelist Carol Crawford. In 1981, Neville & Carol Crawford and their three sons migrated to the US and worshipped with Elder Frederick Garbutt in their home. Several months later they helped to establish True United Apostolic Church in Philadelphia, PA and moved from their home to 5701 N 13th Street. On September 1989 the Crawfords relocated to Orlando, FL, leaving behind their eldest son and his family to pastor the church. The Crawford's began worshipping with The Bethel United Church Inc. Pastor H. Jones and served that ministry for five years wherein Deacon Crawford faithfulness was recognized and he was ordained a minister in 1992. Carol Crawford continued service as an evangelist and the assistant president of the Women's Department.

Still sensing the call of God in their lives, the Lord instructed and showed them the foundation of the worship center he intended to build in Orlando.  Neville and Carol Crawford believed God for this new move, they began bible study at their home on May 23rd 1998. There they continued until May 1999. After a year of faithful service, True United Church, Orlando Florida was born on June 6th 1999, and was located at 2605 Curry Ford Road. However, this was just their beginning; the Lord moved them yet again to 2333 Goldenrod Road in Orlando. Prior to the move, the Lord added to this work by merging with Evangelist Pamela Allen and the saints of True Church of Jesus Christ, Apostolic Inc on November 15th 2002. However, the Lord still had greater things in store for the local body of Christ. On June 15th 2007 the Lord relocated them yet again to their present facility at 3823 S. Chickasaw Trail, Orlando, Florida where we are building the kingdom of God.
