I started going to CrossPoint… We came to CrossPoint in August 2016 while I was mid-way through seminary and it has been a wonderful place.
What is a random task that you do that not many people know about? I serve on the men’s ministry leadership team and help plan and coordinate events.
What do you want people to know about the church staff? I have always been impressed with the humble, servant-leadership that I see displayed by the staff here at CrossPoint.
In what ways have you seen God move through your ministry? Since my entry into the task of biblical counseling at CrossPoint in late 2019, I have seen God move in people’s lives to help them find their gladness in Him and to reorient their focus and their hope to not be on any outcome of an earthly deliverANCE, but on the person of their deliverER.
