WHEN I JOINED THE CROSS CHURCH STAFF | May 2016

WHAT AREAS OF MINISTRY I WORK IN | Children’s Ministry

MY FAMILY | In October 2003, I married the love of my life, Ginger Young. She has blessed us with two remarkable boys, Jonathan and David. Originally residing in Texas, we have lived in Arkansas since 2008. We love being at home in the “Natural State”.

WHEN I WAS SAVED | Christ revealed himself to me in glory as a 6 year old boy on August 2, 1983, during a VBS at Pioneer Drive Baptist Church in Abilene, Texas. On that date, “Pastor Pete” shared with me that with Christ as my savior, my sins could be forgiven and that God would become a Father to me to provide for all my needs. As a child of a single parent family, I longed for a Father in my life and entrusted my life into the hands of God.
