Well before our first Sunday service in 2010, God had already begun to build his church as a handful of families prayerfully considered starting a new church in Goldsboro. Scattered around Wayne County, this core group was worshiping with Christ Baptist Church in Wilson each Sunday. The elders there agreed to help start Crossway as a like-minded church, committed to the gospel, God's word, and healthy church community. Early in 2010, Crossway called John Randolph as lead pastor, and later that year held its first church service at a daycare facility. God has faithfully provided meeting places for us over the years, including a gymnasium, a storefront location, and even a brief stint in a movie theater! We found a permanent home at 357 Hare Road in August of 2017, giving thanks to our Lord for his kindness. Our prayer is that no matter where we are, our lives will bring glory to God both corporately and individually. Together, we strive to: love God and obey his commands; equip the saints through Bible instruction and study; proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ through preaching and personal evangelism; support and participate in mission work; enjoy fellowship; and mercifully serve each other and our community. https://www.crosswaylife.com/leadership daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6320884611a0c60608a5a3/1547243406927-7T4YZDFG7SQXY18SVT41/DEACON.jpg Leadership Eddie and his wife, Sharon, came to Crossway in 2015 and jumped right into the life of the church. In 2018, Eddie became a deacon, feeling “honored to serve the Lord in this capacity.” With a background in vocational ministry, Eddie continues to provide occasional preaching support to churches throughout Eastern North Carolina. He and Sharon have been married for more than 20 years and have 10 children: Rebekah, Mary, Caleb, Lydia, Hannah, Sarah, Sam, Martha, Ezra, and David.A graduate of Campbell University, he currently works in property management. He enjoys going fishing but admits, “I may be the very worst fisherman!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6320884611a0c60608a5a3/1534027025216-CSQ26M8XSKFIBQ3UT7L2/elder-2.jpg Leadership Ben has served as an elder since 2014, and been involved with Crossway Church from its beginnings. He is married to Carmen whom he met at NCSU, where they both graduated and were married soon after in 2002. They have three children, Oliver, Evan and Anna Gray. They enjoy life on a family farm in Princeton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6320884611a0c60608a5a3/1534026990242-FEFX7U5QDMIR20NENEKA/elder1.jpg Leadership Born and raised in Gastonia, NC, John Randolph became a follower of Christ at an early age. Speaking of his conversion, he has said: "The grace in which I currently stand is the free grace of God from first to last. Raised by Christian parents, I responded to an invitation to follow Christ at a young age. Although I occasionally doubted this decision as a teenager, I came to see that God had, in fact, worked in my life to produce in me a love for Him, His people, and His Word. I continue to this day to repent of sin and believe the gospel, my only hope." Over time, John sensed a call to preach the gospel and give his life to full-time ministry. As this call was confirmed by the local church, John attended Liberty University, where he received his Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies. John met his wife, Kristie, at Liberty and they married in 2005. John went on to study at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, where he received his Master of Divinity in 2008 and subsequently his Master of Theology in 2009. While there, he was actively involved at Immanuel Baptist Church and served as a deacon overseeing mercy ministries. Throughout his time of formal study, John also served as a pastoral intern at Parkwood Baptist Church in Gastonia, Calvary Baptist Church in Lansdale, PA, and as pastoral assistant at Cornerstone Church of Skippack, PA. In 2010, Crossway Church called John to serve as Lead Pastor. John and Kristie moved to Goldsboro in July of 2010. They have four children - Cole, Nathanael, Emily, and Jack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6320884611a0c60608a5a3/1534027243763-9ASYYH9GPL9XKCW77KAU/deacon1.jpg Leadership Hilt and his wife, Ginger, were members of Christ Community Church in Wilson while plans were just beginning for a church plant in Goldsboro.
