In 1994, Blake Wilson was influenced by his pastor, Rev. Bill Lawson, at the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church to shift away from a profitable seven-year "career" climbing the corporate ladder and towards learning, loving, and serving Jesus Christ and His people. Upon leaving the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church to begin serving as a Youth Minister, God started to hone Blake's abilities. For seven years, Pastor Blake was afforded the opportunity to serve as the co-director of The Center for Youth Ministry at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, Texas.
While serving as the co-director for The Center for Youth Ministry, Pastor Blake personally discipled many new believers, including former NBA Players like Allan Houston and Charlie Ward, and to minister at many student camps and retreats across the country.
Currently, Pastor Blake Wilson serves as the lead pastor of Crossover Bible Fellowship in Houston, Texas, and has made discipleship the central focus of Crossover's culture. He is the author of two engaging discipleship curricula. One is a workbook called "Operation Transformation," which is designed to lead Christians from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity in 8 essential areas of life through a 2-year cycle of honest, transparent, & vulnerable group prayer and participation. The other is entitled "The Biblical View of Sex," – which provides participants with God's view of sexual relationships from a biblical perspective. Pastor Blake is also a contributing author in the acclaimed book "Urban Apologetics," written and edited by his long-time friend and brother in the ministry, Dr. Eric Mason.
Pastor Wilson earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Southwest Texas State University and his Master of Arts degree in Christian Education from Dallas Theological Seminary. He is currently pursuing postgraduate studies at Talbot Seminary, concentrating on the importance of disciplining men in the community.
A native of Austin, Texas, Pastor Blake currently resides in Houston, Texas. He is married to Dr. Ronique Wilson, and they have partnered together in marriage & ministry since 1994. They have two exceptional children, a daughter and a son.
