What I Do At Crossroads

I oversee building maintenance, grounds care, vehicle maintenance, and facility-related contracts. As church treasurer, I also prepare the budget and oversee monthly financial reports.

Part Of Church I'm Excited About

I enjoy the relationships I have across the church family, studying God's Word, planning with the elders and staff, and seeing people grow in their faith. Crossroads feels like part of my family.
