ELDERS

In addition to the biblically mandated charge of diligently keeping the church anchored to the Word of God and growing in the Holy Spirit, the elders are responsible for holding the senior pastor accountable to the guiding principles under the Accountable Leadership organizational structure.

One of the highest priorities of our elders is prayer. Prayer is the lifeblood of the church. Nothing is more important than an effective prayer life founded upon the truth of God’s word. Prayer without truth is worthless. Knowing the word without a relationship with God that is evident by an active prayer life is incomplete. If an elder cannot be faithful in this fundamental issue, the church will have no power.

The authority rests with the elder board alone, not individuals. The elder chairman sets the agenda and runs the meetings but all elders are equal.

Scott Edwards, Chairman
Wife: April, Children: Jake, Zachary, & Katterli

I became an elder in December 2008 after serving as a deacon for two and a half years. One of my passions is Christian Apologetics balanced with grace and the heart. I enjoy camping with my family and friends and marveling at the wonder of God's creation. April and I lead the young marrieds adult small group and I maintain the CrossPointe website.

   
Dan Ryan, Vice-Chairman
Wife: Jackie, Children: DJ & Sean

I started as an elder in January 2004. My personal passion is to know Christ and to help others to know Him better through prayer, the Bible, others, and through life experiences. My favorite past time is bike riding.

   
Don Milam, Secretary
Wife: Betty, 4 Children & 11 Grandchildren

I became as an elder in March of 2008. At this stage in our lives, we have a common desire to be alert to the leading of God’s Spirit and willing to follow it wherever it takes us. Our goal is that others might find Jesus reflected in our everyday actions and speech. My interests include computer assisted studies and working in all areas of building construction and repair.

   
Paul Gray
Wife: Cheryl, Children: Diana & Stephanie

I rejoined the elder board in August 2011 to help meet needs in our church family and our community. My passion is to serve others to further the kingdom of God. Over the years Christ has developed in me a real heart for children. Currently my wife and I have the privilege and joy of teaching preschoolers every Sunday morning. The children know that “Uncle Paul” loves them and that Jesus loves them, too.

   
Dan Powell
Wife: Kari, Children: Johanna, Benjamin, Timothy, & Libby

I began serving as a CrossPointe elder in August 2011. It is my desire to live each day in faithful obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, singularly motivated by His unfathomable love, which He demonstrated most powerfully on the cross. I have a passion for music and currently serve as a vocalist on the Creative Arts Team. I also enjoy team teaching an adult Bible study group, working with children and preschoolers, and ringing bells in the handbell choir. Kari and I are homeschooling our children and find this to be a challenging yet rewarding adventure.
