News
We are excited to announce a joint call for co-pastors of Cross & Crown Lutheran Church! Pastor Melody and Pastor Matt Simpkins will come to us as "one" call, a wife and husband team jointly sharing the duties and responsibilities of pastoring our church. Their complementary skills, talents, and personalities will benefit Cross & Crown as we have the honor of working, worshiping, and growing our faiths together with them and their 5 kids!
