Stacey Posick

Amber Lipscomb

HR/Payroll

So, yeah, life's a little crazy, a lot messy, and always entertaining. If you're looking for someone who can handle anything from spreadsheets to meltdowns (both teenage and canine), while keeping a smile on their face (most of the time), then let's chat! Just be warned, I may throw in a Harry Potter reference or two, and there's a high probability of dog hair clinging to my clothes. But hey, that's just part of the charm, right?
P.S. If you have any tips on wrangling teenagers, calming hyperactive dogs, or finding extra hours in the day, I'm all ears (or should I say eyes, since I'm probably multitasking while reading this).

Dr. Maxine Retzer

Children's Director

 

Cristina Porter

Nursery Director

 

Gil Martin

Youth Pastor

Gil is the official Youth Pastor and 9-Square King at CrossRoad Church. He has 16 years of Youth Ministry experience. With 4 crazy children and an amazing wife (Perri), his life is kind of active in a good way. He loves his family, golf, playing basketball, worship music, and playing guitar! Find Gil at the weekly Youth shenanigans on Wednesday or Sunday nights or just swing by for a chat about life, faith, and the occasional embarrassing dad joke.
