Church Leadership

Elder Team

  • Dan Conrades

    Lead Pastor/Elder

    God called Dan into ministry as a teenager in his hometown of Bowie, Maryland. After 15 years of vocational ministry in Maryland and southern Indiana, God started to birth a new calling in his heart; a call to missions work. In September 2015, Dan and his family moved to Richmond as church planting missionaries to begin Crosspoint Church. Dan’s passion is to preach God’s Word, shepherd His people, lead in missions, and teach the church to honor Jesus in their homes and communities. Dan is a graduate of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned his Masters of Divinity in Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth. Dan and Chris were married 20 years ago and love being in ministry together as a team. They have four kids; Ellie, Zach, Josiah, and Noah. Dan loves spending time with his family, reading theology, and playing sports. Dan’s favorite books are Family Shepherds, Family Driven Faith, Dangerous Calling, Preach, and all the 9 Marks of a Healthy Church books.

  • Chad Pentecost

    Lay Pastor/Elder/Crosspoint U: Family Missions Director
    Chad graduated with honors from Purdue
    University with a degree in pharmaceutical sciences and has worked in our community as a pharmacist since 1999. At the age of 27, he had an encounter with Jesus that changed his life forever. Shortly after being given his salvation Chad met his wife Tiffani. They were married in 2003 and have 3 amazing children. He has always had a voracious appetite for learning. Once he was saved, his focus of learning turned to scripture, theology, apologetics, and historical narrative. Chad loves to spend time outside fishing, hiking, cycling, and playing with his kids. He loves to read fiction as well and enjoys authors such as Lewis, Tolkien, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, and many others. Though his vocation is in healthcare, Chad has always loved to teach others and has worked with every age group from preschool to senior adult. He loves to see his students discover new ways to apply the truths of Scripture. His call to be an elder started several years ago when he was asked to become a substitute lecturer for a men’s Bible study. He felt God clearly telling him to move forward despite his fear of public speaking. As he has leaned on the Lord’s strength, Chad has discovered a love for delivering Christ-centered messages in an expositional model of preaching. He divides his time now between work, ministry and family.

Richmond, Indiana:

A Redemption Story

God has always been in the business of redeeming the lost, the broken, and the down-trodden. This is a story of God doing just that, redeeming a building and a people and using them to touch the world.

In the spring of 2014, a dying church in Richmond, Indiana made the difficult decision to close. With the help of the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana and several local pastors, the 12 members who remained continued meeting and praying. They believed that God still wanted to use their property to make His name famous in Richmond. Leaders within the state of Indiana agreed and began leading this small group through months of preparation and prayer for a church replanter.

In the spring of 2015, two couples in Charlestown, Indiana began feeling God leading them into a new adventure. Dan and Chris Conrades together with Brandon and Stephanie Doyle started researching church planting in 2014 and by the spring of 2015 they were convinced God had not only called them to church planting together but that God was leading them into replanting. Dan was approached about a legacy church plant in Richmond, Indiana. They believed this was the opportunity about which the four of them had been praying.

Momentum began to build as the team choosing to move from Charlestown to Richmond grew to ten! This group officially moved to Richmond in the fall of 2015 and joined together with the twelve members of the previous church to begin something brand new. Twenty-two people praying for God to continue the story He had been writing in Richmond.

After much prayer, the core team came to a decision to name their new church Crosspoint Church. The cross of Jesus is the point of change and new beginnings and the point from where we are sent to the nations. The vision of Crosspoint Church is Psalm 96:3 to “Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples.” Throughout November and December, the core team continued to meet together, fellowship, reach out to the community, redeem the empty rooms for God’s glory and look forward to an exciting year ahead. By January 2016, after much prayer, the core team decided to mark May 1st as their official launch day. The old Central members and the team from Charlestown merged together as one while welcoming in new faces to be a part of the replant. The journey of replanting was shaping to be a magnificent story of God’s grace and mercy. After months and months of prayer, co-laboring for the gospel, lots of renovations, and more, May 1st was on the horizon.

On May 1, 2016, the newly replanted Crosspoint Baptist Church opened their doors for their first public worship service and prayed that God would bring people to a saving understanding of the gospel story and their lives are transformed by the power of the cross.

What We Believe

  • About God

    God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

  • About Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to gather all believers to live with Him eternally.

  • About the Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts to encourage the church. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

  • About the Bible

    The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

  • About Human Beings

    People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

  • About Salvation

    Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

  • About Eternal Security

    Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.

  • About Eternity

    People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him in Heaven is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
