I started going to CrossPoint… I’ve been at CrossPoint since August of 2021.
What is a random task that you do that not many people know about? Every week I try to make a silly video to invite people to young adults on our instagram.
What do you want people to know about the church staff? The staff at CrossPoint loves people and has a strong desire to help them in their devotion to the Lord.
In what ways have you seen God move through your ministry? Every Tuesday, we open our church up to young adults to gather, worship, connect, and learn from God's Word. I love seeing people grow in their relationships with other young adults, give their life to Christ, take next steps through baptism and serving, and commit to learn more through our small groups that meet in coffee shops throughout the week.
