Ron Barefoot had the vision to plant a church and The CrossWalk is the result of that vision. CrossWalk is still a "church plant" but growing and expanding into the community of Angier, North Carolina. Ron preaches the word of God according to the Holy Bible and blends with his own experiences, anecdotes, personal stories and humor to the mix. You can find him anywhere on Sundays from the Cafe to the parking lot.
He could be singing, he could be preaching. You never really know with Brandon Shwaikeh (Shu-way-ka). Brandon was asked to join The CrossWalk as an associate pastor in it's infancy and has been everything from parking attendant to worship leader to children's church teacher. Brandon preaches regularly at The CrossWalk.
