Mrs. Darla Smith
Church Office Administrator Our family became members of Cross Roads in 2003. I joined the church staff in January of 2007. I’ve had the pleasure of working with several pastors, each of whom provided me with deeper insights into the word of God. My work here provides me with a strong sense of purpose and offers me additional interaction with fellow members and people in our community. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, gardening, reading and crafting. |
