Philip Crowter was called home on November 28 2008, aged 46.
‘To live is Christ …’ This was the very heart-beat of Phil Crowter’s life and ministry. For 13 years, Phil was pastor of Hambro Road Baptist Church, Streatham, London, before taking up the role of associate pastor at Cuckfield Baptist Church, a work mysteriously cut short by cancer. He was also greatly used as a young people’s leader and as a writer.
It was Phil’s delight to preach and teach the gospel of God’s grace, though often it was at great personal cost — he had ME for many years before being diagnosed with cancer. His burning desire was that all should come to know Christ and to grow in knowledge and fervency in their Christian service. As a pastor, he will be remembered for his challenging and profound Bible teaching and his wise, loving and godly counsel. And though the church at Cuckfield benefitted from this for such a short while, they had the great privilege of hearing a dying man speak in a moving and compelling way on the book of Job.
