Paul Crouch Jr.
Paul Franklin Crouch Jr. /kraʊtʃ/ (born March 13, 1959) is an American Christian broadcaster. He is chairman and chief studio designer for Cinemills Corporation. He is best known, however, for his long association with the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), which was founded by his parents Paul and Jan Crouch. His teachings, along with TBN, are grounded in prosperity theology.[citation needed]
The oldest of Paul and Jan Crouch's two children, Crouch Jr. was born in Rapid City, South Dakota, where his father was working in commercial broadcasting at the time. The Crouches eventually moved to California, where they co-founded Trinity Broadcasting Network in 1973.
Crouch married Tawny Dryden, the daughter of Oklahoma City pastors Ron and Linda Dryden, in 1980. The couple had three children together—son Brandon and daughters Brittany and Carra—before divorcing around 2007. He married Brenda Crouch in 2014.
As a teenager, Crouch worked behind the scenes during the formative years of TBN, alongside his parents and younger brother Matthew. In the early 1980s, however, he left TBN and ventured out on his own to produce and direct various Christian television programs such as Church in the Home for Fred Jordan and a program for TBN regular Dwight Thompson. Around this time, in 1982 Crouch briefly entered the spotlight as an outspoken critic of backmasking.
He made appearances on both religious networks (including TBN) and secular programs, such as The Merv Griffin Show, playing rock music recordings he believed contained Satanic messages when played backwards.
In 1983 Crouch formed PJ Video, a full service video production company which offered post-production services for both Christian ministries and secular clients. Two years later he co-founded The Edit Bay, a post-production editing facility.
In 1990 Crouch joined Jay Sekulow in establishing Sonlight Broadcasting Systems, a network of Christian television stations based in the southern United States. All of Sonlight's stations were affiliated with the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Crouch served as a member of the board of Sonlight Broadcasting until 1995, and developed and producing television programs that were broadcast on the stations.
Crouch returned to Trinity Broadcasting on a full-time basis in 1998 in the role of vice president of production, where he oversaw the development of new programs and special projects. He also worked alongside his brother Matthew, as second unit director of photography on the TBN-produced full-length motion picture, The Omega Code (1999).
