Deacons

It’s our pleasure to introduce the 2023 Deacon Board Nominees!

These men have been found to uphold the biblical requirements for deacons. As part of the confirmation process, we ask you to prayerfully consider them. If you have any concerns, please meet with the individual to discuss them. If your concerns remain, please contact one of the pastoral staff for follow-up.

Owners of CrossPoint Community Church, age 14 and older, may vote at our annual business meeting during both morning services on November 27.
