Charles Crabtree
Assistant General Superintendent, Assemblies of God, USA

Charles Crabtree, assistant general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, has served in his current position since November of 1993. As assistant general superintendent, Crabtree is a member of the Board of Administration and the Executive Presbytery.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Crabtree was raised in Bangor, Maine and then went on to graduate from Central Bible College in Springfield, Mo. He has also received an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Northwest College of the Assemblies of God.

Crabtree has also pastored two leading Assemblies of God churches during his ministry. In 1963 he was elected pastor of First Assembly of God, Des Moines, Iowa, and in 1974 assumed the pastorate of Bethel Church in San Jose, Calif.

For six years prior to his current position, he served the church as the director of the Decade of Harvest. This was an aggressive evangelism effort by the Assemblies of God in the 1990's to win souls to Christ and establish new churches.

He has also written numerous articles that appear regularly in the Pentecostal Evangel and other similar denominational periodicals.
