Change Process and Search

Crossroads has a comprehensive policy to facilitate leadership change which is illustrated below.

The Board of Elders will keep the congregation up to date with what is happening, but if you have any questions you can contact the Elders directly, or speak to one of the pastors. It is normal to experience a range of emotions when a Pastor leaves, including worry or sorrow, but if you have questions or would like reassurance, please reach out.
