My name is Merritt Blackwell and I have had the privilege of serving as one of the pastors here at Grace Crossing since 2024. Originally from Hattiesburg, MS, I am a graduate of both William Carey University and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and I have been blessed to be able to serve in various roles of ministry over the past 10 years. My wife Abbye and I have two dogs, Ollie and Harris, that keep us busy. We love being a part of the staff and community here at Grace Crossing and look forward to meeting you and worshipping alongside you!
