David Johnston has been a pastor since 1980 and he has served as the
Senior Pastor of CrossPoint Church since 1995. He has been married to
Jean since 1980 and they have two children, Davey and Kristen.

I have served as the Lead Pastor of CrossPoint Church since 1995. I love the sense of community, family and unity that we have at CrossPoint. People truly care for one another and it shows in the way that we love and serve each other. One of the greatest challenges facing our church is how to minister to the many needs of our community in difficult financial times. We believe that God has called us to feed the hungry and minister to the downtrodden in our community. I believe God will provide the resources through His people to do this. I love being a pastor and hope to be serving God's people at CrossPoint for many more years.

Hi, I have been the secretary at CrossPoint Church for 20 years now and have been blessed with three children and a son-in-law and daughter-in-law. My joy is my granddaughter, Scarlett who is 2 years old. I also work in the Anoka County jail fulltime. I’ve seen so many changes over the years at CrossPoint Church and I feel the Lord has led us to such a time as this. Our mission is to love God, love people and follow in the footsteps of Jesus.  We are a family here at CrossPoint who truly care for each other and for our community. Our outreach is to the poor and needy through drive-thru prayer/coffee time, community winter clothing giveaway, free community meal on Wednesday nights, bread/bagel giveaway each week and serving on Thursdays at a homeless shelter in downtown Minneapolis. During this time of financial crisis, we invite you to join us in making a difference.

I work with the discipleship ministries such as KidsPoint, nursery, and W.O.W. I teach 3rd through 5th grade at KidsPoint sunday mornings, as well as, ministering to our youth as a senior high youth leader at W.O.W. I have also taught Senior High bible studies. What I like best about CPC is the close-knit family atmosphere. Everyone is welcome and loved. The challenges I face now are dealing with physical health issues in our family. In five years I hope to still be serving our Lord and Saviour in whatever He chooses for me.

My name is Betty Hardle.  This year I am serving as the Church Treasurer.  I also am part of the Worship Team, playing piano, organ, keyboards and vocals.  I am a charter member of the church, as I was a member right from the beginning.  Of course, that was over 50 years ago.  This church is an example of how God establishes a church and keeps it going using His people.  The church has encountered many difficulties, but God has been faithful.  Even from the beginning, the church was located in a neighborhood of working people with not much income, a lot of needs in the church and the community, and a willingness to work for God’s kingdom. Although our financial resources are slim, God has always provided and will continue to provide.  I like the current emphasis of our church program to show God’s love to our community.  The more I study the Scriptures, the more I realize that is what God intended as an “advertisement” of His goodness.   So we, as a church, will keep on keeping on!

My name is Nancy Anderson, I am an elder and am in charge of prayer and discipleship ministries. What I like best about CPC is how vastly diversified we are with many different people and personalities that show how our God is a multi-faceted God. My greatest challenge to ministry is working full-time and trying to put as much energy into church, as well as being a full-time mom and wife. In 5 years, I hope to be serving God as a servant to senior citizens in some capacity.

 

  

 



Mary KayMary Kay Olson, Finance MinistryLeader


My name is Mary Kay Olson and I am on the Elder Board at CrossPoint Church.  I am also chairman of the Worship Committee and play keyboard for the a.m. service. I enjoy the people at CrossPoint Church.  They are such friendly people and easy to converse with.  I also like the unity that we have as a church body. One of my biggest challenges is that I have been a member for 41 years and at times, I feel that the younger people should be doing more things at the church.  But then I realize, there is something to be said about being elder and having the history of the church. In five years, I will be retired and spending more time traveling and at our cabin in northern Mn.  We would also like to move out of the cities, but time will tell.
