As a native of Wisconsin and long time resident of northern Idaho, Laurel was raised in a non-Christian home.  After experiencing a personal, radical salvation with Jesus Christ in 1978, Laurel began her journey in Christ rearing two children, Brett and Necole, as a single parent. She understands the trials women face.  Laurel has served the Lord for 30 years and in full-time ministry for 22 years.  Desiring to break the barrier of the status quo, Laurel stands united in Christ with the women of Crossroads and Logan County longing for revival in the hearts of women everywhere.

Co-Chairwoman - Sheila Richardson:
Sheila and her husband, Charlie, are lifetime residents of Logan County. They have two sons, John Thomas and Colton. Sheila values her role as a wife and mother.   She works for Logan Aluminum and spends her spare time with family and friends. They were instrumental in the establishment of Crossroads Church. God has used Sheila’s gift of loving and teaching the Word in many areas of ministry. She understands the joy and the struggles of being a woman and believes that women need a space to grow in Christ within a safe environment.  Sheila feels that Crossroads Church offers that opportunity. Women are faced with so many overwhelming obstacles in today's society. As women understand how to deal with issues without being shocked or feel ill-equipped, then women will shift to actually helping each other through the issue based on God's Word.

Programs Coordinator - Brenda Lamb:

I love God, family and Crossroads Church. I have worshipped at Crossroads for three years.  My husband, Terry, attends with me.  I enjoy poetry, flowers, and creative arts-drama. I volunteer my time with the Creative Arts Ministry as well as being a full time registered nurse. Having known the Lord since I was a teenager, I have watched in amazement as He has worked in my life and the lives of my family. My spiritual growth seems appear to be during my most difficult times; however, "His grace is sufficient." God always places Christian brothers and sisters in my life to support and encourage when I need it most. I believe there are many who need the same and I desire to be used of God to help others "see the roses."
