About The Conference
“Fan the Flame” comes out of 2 Timothy 1:6 where the Apostle Paul encourages Timothy to renew the “gift of God in him”. In times of doubt, difficulties or despair, Christians can often experience a cooling off of their faith and fellowship with our Heavenly Father. This series of services are being offered as an opportunity for renewal and restoration….a fanning of the flame of that gift of God. Through prayer, praise and the presences of the Holy Spirit, it is our desire to invite you to this time of fellowship.

We are excited to have John Sauls, III and the Crossroads Worship team with us on Sunday evening at 6:00 PM on March 1st. John is known as Pastor “J3”.

After a transition from his father, who led Crossroads for 21 years, he took over as the Lead Pastor in 2015. His experience in the corporate world as well as the church world gives him an invaluable edge to lead. For 20 plus years he served on a volunteer basis in various roles, such as Men’s and Youth Pastor and everything in-between.
Under his leadership, Crossroads has grown to a church of 950 plus in weekly attendance in a town of 1,100. He also led the church completely out of debt during his 2nd year leading. Crossroads resides in the center of town on 29 acres.
Pastor J3 is passionate about the local church truly representing every tribe and tongue with an overall desire to reflect heaven here on earth. He leads with a servant’s heart and prides himself as being the “Chief Server” at Crossroads. He believes his job is to equip people to do the work of the ministry with him.
