Meet Our Leadership Team

The leadership and staff of Crossing Community Church serve together with a shared heart to follow Christ and care for His people. With humility and faithfulness, we teach God’s Word, lead in prayer, support the ministries of the church, and walk alongside our church family as we grow together in Christ.

“Give a shepherd’s care to God’s flock among you… becoming examples to the flock.”

— 1 Peter 5:2–3
