We also have a very unique midweek program for kids. Our team of adults who care for our kids are the best, and we're in the process of building more space for our children to accommodate our growth.

His education background includes a finance degree from The University of Georgia (magna cum laude, 1990) and a master's degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia. He also loves to surf (and snowboard, he took 25 of our youth for a snowboard retreat this past December) as he grew up surfing competitively for a local surf company in Cocoa Beach. Bryan is married to Kerry, his beautiful bride, who grew up in the Atlanta area. She recently stepped down from her job as a pharmaceutical representative for a diabetes specialty company to care for their new son. Bryan and Kerry welcomed the birth of their first son, Cole, on July 20th, 2005. He was born right here in Clermont at South Lake Hospital. Come meet Bryan, Kerry, and Cole at any of our weekend worship experiences, or to e-mail Bryan click here. To meet the rest of our staff click here. Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:08:37 MST http://www.thecrosspoint.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=43 http://www.thecrosspoint.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=43&article_id=81 We've put together a "Top 10" list in short form, but note two things about this list: first, we could never have a complete list and second, after belief in God, these beliefs are not in any order of priority. We discuss these beliefs at length during our New Member meetings, which occur once per month. The main thing that distinguishes our church from other churches is our system of government. We elect elders (a Biblical principle) to make decisions on behalf of the church. This system has no "politics" within the church because we have no committees, only ministry teams that do the work the elders have deemed appropriate for our vision at Crosspoint. In short, our denomination does not approve of church "splits" within churches. This makes for a very stable and long-term vision to do ministry and mission. The beliefs you see listed below would most likely be found at other Christian churches. Again, it is our church system of governance that is unique (elected representation). 1. We believe in God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Luke 3:21-22; John 14:26; The Apostles' Creed We believe: 2. God is in control. Isaiah 55:8-9; Romans 8:28 3. Human beings are separated from God. Romans 3:23 4. Only God can save people. Galatians 3:22-24 5. What the Bible teaches is not wrong. 2 Timothy 3:16 6. God chooses people for salvation and service. Ephesians 1:4-5 7. Christ is the head of the church. Colossians 1:17-18 8. Jesus is fully human and fully divine. John 14:9-11 9. There are two sacraments: baptism and The Lord's Supper. Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 10. Christians should belong to a church. Ephesians 2:19; Acts 2:42-27 For more in-depth answers to questions about our beliefs or the beliefs of our leadership, feel free to contact Pastor Bryan by clicking here. We welcome your input. A more in-depth description of our mission, vision, and strategy is available upon request.

You only have to make one turn off of highway 50 to find us. The Building is called "The Net." From highway 27 and 50, Go WEST to 8th street, then Turn RIGHT onto 8th street. Go through one stop sign and look left. We're on the left in The Net, you'll see the signs for parking on Sunday morning. Click here for a Google link map to our new worship site.

We are enjoying this new format together, which combines some traditional hymns and contemporary worship. Dress however you feel comfortable, you'll see a bit of everything. We have included descriptions of our other worship formats on this page to which we will return when availability of space opens up.

We want you to be able to experience the great music, encouraging messages, friendly people and enjoyable atmosphere that are a part of Crosspoint. And we know that your first time at a church, any church, brings up some questions. Here is a quick look at what you can expect, based on what people see when they visit Crosspoint. How should I dress? Dress comfortably! You'll see some people wearing jeans and you'll see some people wearing ties. Wear what makes you feel comfortable. What's available for my kids? We offer child care during the service and a time for kids before the message. Drop your infants off in the nursery as you enter the building and know that your older children will be released to their classrooms during the service. What should I expect in church? Great music and a relevant message are what we're all about at Crosspoint. You will be given an outline for the day's message and you will be welcomed by lots of smiles. We want you to be comfortable and free to check things out for yourself, so nobody will pressure you while you are at Crosspoint. If you want more information, fill out the tear-off information that is in the bulletin and place it in the basket when it comes by after the message.

As a result, we plan regular retreat getaways for our youth. Whitewater rafting takes place in the summer; snowboarding happens over the winter school break. Check for dates and sign up early, space is limited this year to 35 spots for both retreats.

Coming to Clermont was a homecoming of sorts for him, as he grew up in the Orlando area (Bryan graduated from Evans High School in 1986). Bryan came with a vision to grow a small group of committed adults into a dynamic, exciting church that would impact the Clermont community. Bryan got to work immediately, and after a series of preview worship events Crosspoint launched on February 1st of 2004 with two worship services. The group grew quickly, which made it necessary to move several times during these initial start up months; Crosspoint has moved a total of eight times since its inception. Several staff members were added to minister to the needs of our expanding congregation.

He has over 10 years of full-time experience with three Presbyterian (PCUSA) churches in Florida and Georgia. Bryan received his seminary training and master's degree from Columbia Theological Seminary; his wife Kerry is a life-long Presbyterian and takes care of their son Cole (born July 2006).
