CROSSROADS HISTORY
Pastor Mike: When Mike Helton first came to this church, only a small group of believers were meeting together. Mike became their pastor and re-named the church Crossroads Baptist. The building at the time was a temporary double-wide. Membership grew quickly, requiring a larger, more permanent sanctuary. Construction began on a building consisting of a sanctuary, prayer room, nursery, classrooms, and a large kitchen.
April 28, 2002: Dedication ceremony for the new building.
September 21, 2003: Harry Harris, Jon Baker, Calvin Womack, Steve Hicks, and Ernie Cearley were ordained as Deacons and Elders.
2004: Pastor Mike Helton resigned to devote his time to Vision Ministries. Elder Jon Baker served as interim pastor during this period. A vote was taken and Jon Baker became the new Pastor of the church.
June 5th, 2004: An ordination service was held to ordain Jon Baker as pastor and John Webster as music minister of Crossroads.
Sept 2007: Original deacons and elders were released from their duties after serving 4 years. A ceremonial dinner was held in honor of these men and each received a plaque in recognition of their services. We have since ordained 3 more deacons; Wes Mason, Archie Simmons, and Carroll Harris.
August of 2009: John Webster resigned as music minister and we are presently searching for a new leader of music.
