Board Member Kerri Seekins-Crowe: Fighting for Faith, Truth & Family
SHE CAN LOG INTO an early morning MBC board meeting in a pink camo sweatshirt and be on the floor of the Montana State House of Representatives two hours later, championing for the lives of unborn babies or the rights of hunters.
No matter where she is, Montana Bible College board member and State Representative Kerri Seekins-Crowe (R-HD39) is leading the fight for truth, faith and family values.
"I believe that we, as Christians, need to fight for those things that are important," Seekins-Crowe said. "I believe that Christians must be at the table, I believe that God commands us to be at the table, that we are to be the elders, we are to be the ones who point back to the truth."
Seekins-Crowe joined the MBC Board of Directors in February 2026. She had previously taught at the college and said it was an honor to be asked to bring her gifts of teaching, encouragement and networking to the board. She also wanted to ask good questions and understand the nuances and challenges of private education, which she "believes in with all my heart."
Born in Hardin, Montana, Seekins-Crowe grew up in a strong, conservative Christian family that ensured family values and faith were woven into her DNA. She holds a B.B.A. from the University of Alaska and an M.B.A. from Campbell University. Her husband served in Desert Storm and was injured in Somalia before they moved back to Montana 24 years ago.
When she became a state legislator in January 2021, she says she knew only two things: "Number one, I didn't know what I was doing, and number two, I wasn't going to wear a face mask."
She committed to asking better questions, to seeking out relationships, and to knowing she's welcome at any table she's invited to even if it's uncomfortable.
Over the last six years — and as she runs for a fourth term — she sees herself as a linchpin who asks people to sit at the table and to trust each other enough to disagree.
In the spring of 2025 when she hosted an MBC government class at the Montana Legislature, she was impressed with the students' ability to dig into hard questions, wrestle with ideas, and receive critical feedback.
"I appreciate them realizing that truth and grace and love are bigger than just sitting in a bubble listening to people who agree with you 100 percent."
In her role on the Montana Bible College Board of Directors and in the Montana State House of Representatives, Seekins-Crowe is committed to upholding and exposing truth and to building the next generation on a solid foundation so they can go out and touch lives with the hope of God.
"It's really important for us to understand truth, and this college is based on truth," Seekins-Crowe said. "We see what happens with a generation that has lost hope. We see what happens when kids get mired in anger and entitlement."
As for her hopes for the students impacted by her service on the Montana Bible College board, she wants them to know they can change the world, one person at a time.
"Every time I get to talk to the MBC students, it is such an honor to me," Seekins-Crowe said.
"My hope is that I spark something in them, that they always go back to the truth, that they realize how important they are, that they know that their foundation is going to change the world one person at a time, and that they believe that within themselves."
