Business Administrator I am so blessed to be a part of a team of people that love the Lord and desire to serve Him daily. My wonderful family includes my husband Dennis, my oldest daughter Kelsey and her husband Tracy, my sweet grandchildren Chloe and Graham, and my youngest daughter Kayla and her husband Tom. Dennis and I are members of Alice Drive Baptist Church and we enjoy camping and just hanging out with our family and friends. |

Ministry Assistant Steve and I are very blessed to have three wonderful young men, Kristopher, Kyle and Kameron that encourage us and keep us going. We love being part of a wonderful body of believers who are so friendly and help us in our walk with the Lord. When we are not at Crosspoint, we love to spend time together as a family enjoying movies, having fun listening to music, enjoying family time, watching soccer or cooking in the kitchen. |

KIDZpoint Director Hello! What a privilege and a blessing it is to be a part of Crosspoint’s mission to grow families in Christ. My wonderful husband (and avid turkey hunter), Michael, our beautiful daughter, Afton, and I relocated here with the US Air Force three years ago. Since then, we have been blessed with our over-the-top toddler, “Tripp,” and the staff and members of Crosspoint have been wonderful in their spiritual support of our growing family. As the director of KIDZpoint (5th grade and under), I hope to extend to you the love and care that the Crosspoint family has shown me by creating safe and fun faith-filled environments in which you and your child may grow in Him. Many blessings, love and joy to you! |

Kidzpoint Production Director It is my pleasure to serve as Production Director in the children's ministry at Crosspoint. I juggle many "hats." I am a military spouse to USAF Aircraft Maintenance Instructor, and mother of three (Caleb-8, Ethan-7, Leah-3). Above all, I am a follower of Jesus and strive to live my life to be Purposed. Intentional. Glorifying. "Jesus" is my thing. I enjoy being real and having fun, fellowshipping with friends and family, digging deep into Bible studies, and when I can, basic gardening and crafting. Connecting to and serving within CBC has been such a privilege and blessing for me and my family. We look forward to serving as the hands and feet and being a part of the mission that God has purposed for our church. |

Setup & Maintenance Originally from Monticello, GA, I moved to Sumter in 2002 after I felt the Lord telling me to move. With no idea of where to find a job, I received a call from Alice Drive Baptist Church to fill in on weekends and it soon became a full time job doing maintenance and setup. Shortly after, I met my wife Julie and we were married. In 2009, I began working part-time at Crosspoint doing the same job. When we get a break, Julie and I enjoy traveling, watching NASCAR or catching a baseball game. |
