Meet our Staff

Hi Ho, I'm Pastor Joe (Joepaaa)! I came to this church in 2010 and began serving as the Youth Pastor. June 2018, I took the Lead Pastor position and am still leading our elementary school youth group, One Way. I have a beautiful wife, daughter, and son. We also have various pets like dogs, parakeets, and chickens. I love the Cubs and Bears and still love my wife even though she is a Brewers and Packers fan… 

Hey there! I’ve been a member of the Crossroads Church since 2020 and love being involved here! I also help lead our Women's Bible Study Group. I am a wife and mother of two boys and three dogs. I love reading, the outdoors, family time, volunteering, and taking road trips. I am lactose intolerant, but love trying and cooking new foods! I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree in psychology, which I hope to use to help children and families in need of support and care. 

Hi! I have worked with children in the childcare field, the Johnson Creek school district, and youth groups since 2000. 

I am married with 3 children who keep me busy with various activities, especially sports. We also have 2 dogs and 3 cats. My favorite things to do are read, ride our motorcycle with my husband, host parties so I can try new recipes, and play games so I can act like a kid. 

My favorite part of my job is visiting classrooms to play with the kids or hear about their day. My goals include mentoring a new generation of teachers, providing unique care to the families in our community, and sharing Jesus with them all. I love God and know I was called by Him to love the kids in our community; so that is what I try to do every day, from cradle to college.

My name is Amber, and I am the co-lead infant teacher for your child. I have been working in the infant room for the past 5 months now. I have always wanted to work with children just never knew how or what I needed to accomplish to do so. I have a 6-year-old son who is my whole world. If I'm not at work, then I'm at home spending time with my son and fiancé. We love to watch our son play sports, and we also enjoy hunting together. The children in my class will always be treated equally and I would treat them just like they are my own.

Hello! I am Miss Cynthia! My son and I live in Jefferson. I had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom until my son started school. I've also worked at Starbucks and therefore love coffee.

I like going to the zoo and spending time outside in the summer. I do not like the cold. My favorite color is purple. I'm a foodie, but I hate vegetables.

Hello! I grew up in little ol’ Jefferson born and raised! I have a son, Dex, who is such a smart, loving, almost birthday twin, outdoors little boy! I was a CNA for 8 years before I decided it was time to take my love of caring and always learning to a younger generation. I couldn’t be more excited about this decision!  Outside of work I am a homebody. I love relaxing, playing games on my switch, watching movies, and cross stitching!

Hello! I have been teaching since 2023. I have taught children 18-month-olds to 2 years old, but I prefer two-year-olds. I enjoy teaching kids to count and have them learn through hands-on experiences. I am a little shy at first, however, once I get to know you, I will open up more. I love everything space and outdoors as well as going to Jefferson Speedway. I can’t wait to watch your children grow and learn right in front of our eyes. I look forward to learning more about the children, their routine, and the parents of the children I care for.  

Three fun facts about me:  

1. I have a cat at home.  

1. My favorite animal is the squirrel.  

1. I find joy in teaching because it allows me to witness and support children as they achieve significant milestones in their lives, such as mastering potty training. 

Hi! I grew up in Johnson Creek and graduated in 2001. Fun fact: The CKC building was my high school! I have 3 beautiful girls, my youngest attends CKC.  

​

Some things I love are spending time with my family and friends, going on walks, and taking my children to different places.  I also love to do crafts and color with my youngest daughter.  

I love working with children, watching them grow and learn new things. I love playing with them and making them smile. I can’t wait to see the children grow and achieve new things. 

Hi! I’ve been with CKC since March 2020 and started my career in childcare here. I’ve had a chance to lead almost every age group here but excel with the preschoolers. I am a mommy to two girls, who attend the center. Some things I love to do are spend time with my family and friends and I love to do crafts! I look forward to growing my skills and taking care of your little ones! 

Hi, I joined the CKC family in 2024. Previously, I worked in healthcare as a CNA and caregiver for mentally disabled adults. I am a mother of four, two of which attend CKC.  

In my free time I like to cook, create art & craft projects, paint, and fish. I love working with children and watching their minds grow. I am excited to bring fun hands-on activities into the classroom. 

Hi, I'm Miss Hailey! I graduated from Jefferson High School in 2021. I started with CKC July 2022 through an outside training program. I officially joined the team in October 2022 and have been able to work in every classroom. I love working with kids of all ages and am excited to be with the ones! I enjoy playing with kids and teaching them new things.

Some of my favorite things are chocolate and tacos from Panchos in Jefferson! My favorite colors are purple and black. I am a Harry Potter fan, love to read, and spend time with friends.

Hi, I am a senior at Johnson Creek High School and am excited for my first childcare experience. I'm one of five siblings and have a big family, so getting into childcare has always been important to me. I love kids and can't wait to learn more about working with them! 

In my free time, I play basketball and am in track, work at a summer leadership camp, spend time with family and friends, watch TV shows like Survivor, and learn about different interests of mine. I hope to attend a university after high school and study business with a focus on non-profits. 

Hi, I graduated High School in 2018 and am currently attending UW-Whitewater to become a teacher! I have played softball since I was about 7 and I love to play pretty much any sport! I started at CKC in late summer of 2021 and I love it here! Spending time with kids and encouraging them to use their imagination is my favorite! I can't wait to get to know your kids more and help them grow! 

Hi, I am truly a nerd at heart and I love anything, Marvel and Harry Potter. I also really enjoy reading, arts and crafts, and even though I'm allergic to nature, I love any reason to get outside. I also have a dog named Homer, and a tortoise named Udway.  I am currently a senior at Johnson Creek High School and I will be attending UW Eau Claire for college.
