John Crewes (15 July 1847 – 29 December 1925) was a New Zealand Bible Christian minister, social worker and journalist.
[1] In early 1881, Crewes witnessed the laying of a foundation stone for the first Bible Christian church in New Zealand; this was to be built in Christchurch's High Street.
At the time the church opened, it was free of debt, which is a sign of Crewes' energy.
[1] Crewes unsuccessfully contested the 1884 election in the Christchurch North electorate against Julius Vogel.
[1] At the 1887 election, Crewes contested the Sydenham electorate against Richard Molesworth Taylor.
