Tom
Stipe is the Founding Pastor of
Crossroads Church of Denver. From 1970
to 1976 Tom was an assistant pastor at
Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in California
under Chuck Smith. During those years his
foundation in ministry included serving
as a staff evangelist, record producer,
worship leader, band member and pastor
over the growing ministry of music at the
church. |
Tom may be
remembered by many as the bushy-haired preacher
at Calvary's "Saturday Night Concerts." After
taking part in the preaching and music evangelism
so prevalent during the Jesus Movement years
in Southern California, Tom and his family
moved to Denver to start Crossroads Church
Teaching the Bible, playing
and singing contemporary worship, while mixing
these gifts with some bold music evangelism
ideas has made Tom's ministry quite interesting
to follow. This mix of ministry gifts have
taken him from pastors conferences to country
music tours, with responsibilities ranging
from keynote speaker to tour partner with
country singer Ricky Skaggs in Russia. Tom
has recorded two country music CDs of his
own and has logged hundred's of hours of
Bible study teachings. Both the pulpit and
the bandstand have become comfortable platforms
for Tom's communication of the claims of
Christ. |

Church of Denver. From a very early age,
Brandon was familiar with the things of
God, having grown up in the church. It
wasn’t until he was 20 years old

a personal relationship with the living

to it, Brandon came on staff at Crossroads

to earth" way marks Brandon's passion
as a preacher, and a sincere love for God’s
people defines him as a pastor.
