Introducing Crossover
Featuring contemporary music, refreshed format and a relaxed feel, Crossover is a once-a-month late-worship experience on the last Sunday, as we focus on the cross to lead us ahead--into the next day, the next month and the rest of our lives. Authentic, lively and direct, the music and the message of Crossover touch us deeply. Come and experience Crossover, where our faith comes alive in worship and praise!
Pastor Jennifer Ginn has a passion for telling Gospel stories by heart and believes scripture stories come alive in a community of tellers and listeners. She enjoys teaching, mentoring leaders and walking alongside others as they grow spiritually. As Pastor of Cross and Crown, she is constantly amazed God has brought such gifted and loving people together as the body of Christ.
