Pastors Terry and Sharon Ardizzone 

Pastoral Staff

  • Terry Ardizzone, Lead Pastor

    Pastor Terry has been on staff with CrossRoads since the church began in 1995. In the early days, Terry was the youth guy but in the summer of 1999, he stepped up to the plate as the Lead Pastor. 

    Terry’s passion is to reach out to people who are far from God and then help them grow into all that God created them to be. His passion is reflected in the many ways CrossRoads goes against the grain of traditional church mindsets to meet people where they are and introduce them to God’s design for their lives. 

    Terry holds degrees from the University of Louisiana, Monroe (NLU back then) and Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City, OK. Contact Terry at Terry@CrossRoadsMB.org to email him.
