Meet Our Pastors
Shepherding a community toward freedom, purpose, and life with Jesus
Campus Pastor
Pastor Ty Crowder
Pastor Ty Crowder serves as the Campus Pastor of Living Free Church – Franklin. With over 16 years in ministry, he has served as a worship pastor, children's pastor, youth pastor, young adult pastor, and executive pastor — each role shaping his heart to lead with compassion and conviction.
His passion is simple: to see people encounter the presence of God, grow deep in their faith, and walk in the true freedom that only Jesus gives. He is deeply committed to discipleship, leadership development, and raising up the next generation of believers.
Ty is married to his wife Lisa, who is his greatest partner in life and ministry. Together they are raising three boys — Tate, Sam, and Henry — who keep life full, fun, and wonderfully loud. As a family, they love being together and are deeply rooted in the Franklin community.
"Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10 — Life Verse
Ministry Partner
Lisa Crowder
Lisa Crowder serves alongside Pastor Ty as his greatest partner in life and ministry, and leads Living Free Kids — the children's ministry of Living Free Franklin. As a child therapist, she brings a deep understanding of how kids learn, grow, and encounter God's love in real and lasting ways.
Together, Ty and Lisa are raising three boys — Tate, Sam, and Henry — in a home full of laughter, chaos, and deep roots in the Franklin community. Her professional heart and her personal one are one and the same: creating spaces where every child feels seen, safe, and known.
Whether she's welcoming a first-time guest, walking alongside a young family, or helping a child take their first steps of faith, Lisa reflects the heart of Living Free — that true freedom and belonging start the moment you walk through the doors.
"Our heart is simple — we want every person who walks through our doors to feel seen, loved, and empowered to live the life God created them for."
