We are excited to announce two new staff members who recently joined our team!
Erin Alford will be starting on August 9th as our new Campus Coordinator for Crossroads Downtown. She has previously worked in hospice nursing, and played a vital volunteer role in our Downtown campus and Celebrate Recovery ministries since their inception. Now she will be organizing and caring for the variety needs involved with serving people at our Downtown campus. We are so excited for the compassion and organization she brings to the team!
Connor McCormack has accepted the position as our Worship Pastor for Crossroads Downtown and will be jumping right in at youth camp this Monday! Connor recently completed a Northview Worship Residency and has served on other worship teams over the years. His musical talents and enthusiasm to be part of Crossroads will be a wonderful addition to what God is doing.
You can sense the excitement in the air as Crossroads is now worshiping in our
new building Downtown! Current status is we are hoping to obtain our second floor occupancy permit by the end of the month as the kitchen is finalized and begin hosting full children’s ministry and Celebrate Recovery programs upstairs by August 8th. Please keep praying and stay tuned!
