Hannaford Staff
Senior Pastor: Dick Crosby
Following college, Pastor Dick Crosby began his ministry in Minnesota serving as administrator of a Christian School for six years.  That experience prepared him for the work of starting a new church in Minneapolis.  After six fruitful years in that ministry, he and his wife Carol moved to Helena, Montana.
During the past twenty years they have watched God grow this church from less than 30 people to several hundred.  Hannaford Street Bible Church is still growing both in population and numbers of ministries that serve to reach the needs of people.
Dick holds a Doctorate in Christian Education and has been gifted by God in the primary area of administration.

Worship Arts Pastor: Eric Powell
Eric Powell began as Pastor of Worship Arts at Hannaford Street Bible Church in September 2004. He and his family (wife Andrea and 2 sons; Andrik and Kellin) are originally from Southern California where they were involved in music, worship, and the arts for many years.

His desire is to enable people to use their skills and talents to worship God and serve others.
