Caley Crawford believes God used The Barnabas Center, through trainings and counseling, to change her heart, and ultimately her family’s lives, too. Caley’s personal experience of conflict in several relationships drew her to the Barnabas Training and God, in His graciousness, gave Caley a much bigger picture and understanding of who He created her, as well as her friends and family, to be. For the past fifteen years, Caley has worked in federal agriculture government relations following her degree in agricultural economics from the University of Georgia. Caley is a wife to Andy, and mom to three school-aged children. They are proud residents of Richmond’s Museum District, attend City Church of Richmond, and love exploring our city, particularly the James River park system.
