Pastoral Team

  • Cooper Young

    LEAD PASTOR

    Hello! My name is Cooper Young and I have the honor and privilege of serving here at CrossRoads as the Lead Pastor in charge of teaching. All that means is that if you're visiting our church, I'll probably be doing a lot of talking! I am married to my best friend and partner in ministry, Julia, who is the kindest person you'll ever meet. She and I were high school sweethearts from rival districts before being married in 2020. We're both born and raised in Central New York and love everything about it!

    I have benefited greatly from growing up calling this church my home. After my time as a bear at Chittenango High School, I went on to become the literal Orange (as in Otto) at Syracuse University where I completed a Bachelors in Communications and Rhetorical Studies before moving onto Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where I received my Masters in Christian Ministry. I have also served at Eastern Hills Bible Church as their Youth Director and at Netcast Church as a Communications Intern. I love God and I love people, and my hope is that we as a church would help that to be true for many others including you!

  • Mick Keville

    COMMUNITY PASTOR

    Hi, I’m Mick Keville and I serve as the Community Pastor of CrossRoads. I have been serving as Pastor at CrossRoads since it was launched in 1998 by Eastern Hills Bible Church in Manlius where I was an Associate Pastor. I am native to Chittenango and prior to serving in full time ministry I was an officer in the Navy for 10 years and worked for Texas Instruments while attending Seminary. My wife Betsy and I have three adult children who have blessed us with 11 grandchildren. Oldest daughter, Kelly, and her husband Patrick, live in MA while keeping up with their 4 daughters. Our son, Michael and his wife Jenny are actively engaged in ministry here and busy parenting their 2 daughters and 2 sons. Our youngest daughter, Kathryn and her husband Matt are involved in ministry here and chasing their three sons. I am excited to serve with a great team of staff and ministry leaders and to see how God is guiding our fellowship toward the future.

    CREATIVE ARTS ADMINSTRATOR

    Hi there! My name is Megan and I’m so excited to meet you! I am the creative arts administrator here at CrossRoads, which means I work with the tech and worship volunteers to incorporate audio, video, and visual, and musical elements into our services each Sunday, and I help create graphics for our services and social media. I received my associates degree in General Studies at Finger Lakes Community College in 2020 and I have been involved in tech at CrossRoads since I was 19.

    I’ve had the privilege of attending CrossRoads for my whole life and living in the area just as long. I am thankful for the way God has orchestrated my story and how He reached me at a young age, which is a story I would love to share with you in person! I am the youngest of 5, and get to serve on staff with my sister Allie. In my free time, you will probably find me playing drums, spending time with friends, or serving ice cream in the summers down the road at Dad’s Soft Ice Cream. I hope we get to meet in person someday! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
