This past Sunday I made a huge announcement that we have hired Chad Large to serve as our Community Pastor. Here is some information about Chad and his life.

CHAD LARGE
Before moving to Ada, Ok in May of 2008, I served as Associate Pastor/Youth Pastor and Worship leader at Hillcrest Christian Fellowship in Muskogee, Ok from 1998-2007. I had the unique opportunity to serve under my grandfather who was the pastor at that time. What was so unique about this opportunity was that this type of ‘ministry apprenticeship’ was nothing new in my family. I am a fourth generation minister, the first generation being my great-grandmother, who is still ministering at the age of 91. After my stay at Hillcrest, I volunteered at First United Methodist in Okmulgee, Ok for a period. During my time in Okmulgee, I had the opportunity to work with my brother and sister-in-law who are the youth pastors there. My stay in Okmulgee was short, however. In early 2008, my wife Ashley had an advancement opportunity with her job that would require us to move to Ada. After much prayer and consideration, my wife and I felt that moving to Ada was the right decision. We quickly sold our home and made the move. She and I knew that one of the most important aspects of starting out in a new town was finding a solid church which we could become a part of. It wasn’t long before we found Crosspointe. We fit in perfect. From the first Sunday we attended, we knew that Crosspointe was our new church home. That was one year ago.
Ashley and I have been happily married for over 11 years and have two beautiful children, Caleb and Kennedy. Caleb will be turning 13 in August and will be in the 7th grade at Byng elementary. Kennedy will turn 6 in July and she will be in 1st grade at Homer elementary. I myself am currently a Junior at East Central University majoring in English. I love God, I’m an avid reader, I love the outdoors, and I love playing music. I have no doubt that my family’s arrival in Ada, and ultimately at Crosspointe, is nothing short of a divine appointment. I am excited about what God has in store for Crosspointe and I am honored to be a part.
