Deon Thompson
Sunday Morning Kids Director
As a member of CrossPoint Church for over 15 years, I have always had a passion for nurturing and educating children and young adults. As the new Sunday Morning Kids Director, I am most excited about the opportunity to build the confidence and creativity of a diverse group of young believers. I aim to utilize teachings that guide, develop and strengthen their faith, ultimately building a strong foundation in Christ that will extend past CrossPoint Church and into their everyday lives.
