FULL-TIME STAFF

Miles

Teaching Pastor

Miles and his wife, Jennifer, have been a part of CrossRoads from the very beginning. Miles was a part of the discussions that took place that merged Old Union and Northland to form CrossRoads Christian Church. He has held the position of Worship Minister and Preaching Minister throughout his time at the church.
He has the blessing of his daughter and her family worshipping at CrossRoads along side him, which includes his son-in-law and three grandsons.

Robbie

Executive Pastor

Rob and his wife, Meg, have been a part of CrossRoads since September of 2010. Originally hired as the Associate Pastor, Rob's role here has continued to morph into the Executive Pastor position. He oversees our Life Groups, while also leading in other areas, such as: worship, tech and day-to-day operations.
Rob and Meg have two children, Ava and Ella, who love coming to CrossRoads, learning about Jesus and spending time with their friends.

Aaron

Student Pastor

Aaron is our newest full-time Staff Member at CrossRoads, joining the team in June of 2022. He is a local guy who grew up in different parts of Vermilion County. He is super excited to be serving at a church in Danville and living out the calling he feels from the Lord in Student Ministry. He recently completed his Master's Degree in Christian Leadership from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ.

Chelsea

Administrative Assistant

Chelsea has been a great addition to the CrossRoads Staff over the last few years. She keeps our day-to-day operations running smoothly, keeping the Staff up-to-date on what's going on around the building, managing the calendar. She strives to do her best covering so many other responsibilities that have now been handed over to her: publications, promo development and communication. She has a heart to serve. When Chelsea accepted this position, we did not expect that she would end up taking on so much, but we are extremely thankful for her willingness.
Chelsea is a big St. Louis Cardinals fan, and she loves her dog, Yadi.

PART-TIME STAFF

Kathy

Children's Director

Kathy is another one of our staff who was involved before being hired. She has always had a heart for kids, but also had an outside job. When she heard that we were in need of a Children's Director, she was excited about the opportunity, and full of ideas to enhance our children's experience. She has implemented a lot of those ideas, while continuing to build her wish list for the future. The majority of the time, you can find Kathy in our KidZone, but she loves the opportunity to worship with her husband, Tim, as well.
Kathy is the proud mother of three who are all grown up, but she is also a very proud Memaw to some special ones as well.

Teagyn

Worship Director

Teagyn joined the CrossRoads staff in January 2023. He was born and raised in Danville, and currently attends DACC. While he is a college student, his passion is for worship ministry. He feels that music is a tool that can be used to reach so many people and, most of all, glorify God. Teagyn plays several instruments, including: guitar, piano and drums. He also enjoys singing.
As Worship Director, Teagyn selects and arranges songs for the worship services at CrossRoads. He also coordinates musicians and vocalists who serve on the Worship Team. He loves leading the congregation in worship through song!

OUR STORY

At one point in time, our motivation to work revolved around the merger of two congregations and finishing the remodel of a new building. But that was years ago now, and we are excited about what God's doing in the present while we remain excited for the future. We are continually looking for God's plan as we move forward as His Church.

We want people to know The Gospel with their mind and feel the Gospel with their hearts.
Jesus Christ, God's only son, came to the earth through a virgin birth, lived a sinless life and died on a cross after being severely beaten as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Jesus rose from the grave three days later, conquering the sting of death, giving us hope for eternal life in heaven fully reconciled with God.

We are here now because this is the time God has chosen for us to continue preaching this Good News to those God brings into our path. God loves every person we lock eyes with on any given day. And we need to all understand that Jesus paid the ultimate price for us. We're not worthy of that sacrifice and never will be, but we are given a gift anyway because God loves us. This gift cannot be earned. Only the blood of Jesus was capable of giving us our forgiveness because He is something we can never be. He is perfect.

In his perfection, God has allowed CrossRoads Christian Church to tell His story since 2006. And there may very well come a time that CrossRoads' story comes to an end, but our goal is not to build ourselves up and put CrossRoads on any pedestal. We want to make Jesus famous.
