STAFF
AaronStudent PastorAaron joined the CrossRoads Staff 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.
Aaron loves to teach the Gospel and see students come to know and love the Lord. He puts an incredible amount of time, thought and effort into each and every week with the Jr High "Chaos" students and the Sr High "4:12" Students. He matches their energy and has created a culture that has made an impact on the entire CrossRoads Family. |
ChelseaAdministrative AssistantChelsea 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, answering the phones and greeting people at the door. She strives to do her best covering other responsibilities that have been handed over to her as well: publications, promo development and communication. Chelsea has a heart to serve and greatly for about CrossRoads. 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 to step-up and help out in so many areas.
Chelsea is a big St. Louis Cardinals fan, and she loves her dogs Yadi and Duke. |
KathyChildren's DirectorKathy 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 wishlist 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. She is a proud Memaw to some special ones as well. |
RobbieExecutive PastorRobbie and his wife, Meg, have been a part of CrossRoads since September of 2010. Originally hired as the Associate Pastor, Robbie's role here has continued to morph into the Executive Pastor position. He oversees our Life Groups, while also leading in other areas. He is the go-to person when you don't know who to talk to. He enjoys the opportunity to visit with members of the congregation and be apart of organizations that connect CrossRoads and the community.
Robbie and Meg have two children, Ava and Ella, who love coming to CrossRoads, learning about Jesus and spending time with their friends. The value of relationships is something that Robbie and Meg cannot emphasize enough. When the term "CrossRoads Family" gets tossed around, it has great depth and meaning in their lives. |
TeagynWorship PastorTeagyn joined the CrossRoads staff in January 2023. He was born and raised in Danville, and he's currently working on a Bachelor's Degree at Liberty University. One of Teagyn's biggest passions is worship ministry. He feels that music is a tool that can be used to reach so many people and, most of all, glorify God. He plays several instruments, including: guitar, piano and drums. He also enjoys singing and leading us in worship on Sunday mornings.
We know worship is much more than the song service, but it is always a moment we look forward to in our week. Gathering together as God's Church and lifting our voices in praise to our King. |
TerryTeaching PastorTerry and his wife, Molly, have been a part of the Danville area for many years serving in numerous roles during that time. Terry is currently serving at Danville Area Community College as the Dean of Adult Education, while also serving at the church as the newest staff member in the role of Teaching Pastor.
Terry and Molly long for people to know and love Jesus. They share that with the world around them on a daily basis in their interactions with others. They are always looking for opportunities to share the Gospel through actions and conversation. On a Sunday morning you may find Terry filling one of many different roles on the stage. He preaches, plays guitar or sings in the worship band. When not filling one of these responsibilities, he is stepping in to help out wherever needed. |

OUR STORYAt 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. |
