Crossroads Church unanimously and enthusiastically welcomes Brady Bassett as our full-time Family Ministries Pastor.

Brady is a 30 year old native of Delaware. He and his wife Lora were married in 2016, after having met as freshmen at Liberty University.  They have two beautiful children, Benji is 5 and Eden is 2.  Welcome to Harnett County!

Personal Statement:  “I was born into a Christian family, but it was not until I was in the 8th grade that I truly gave my life over to Christ. While sitting in the back of the chapel at my middle school, I officially came to faith in Jesus Christ. While attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, I accepted a call to ministry and gladly dedicate my life to serving God and His kingdom. 

I was ordained into the ministry on November 20th, 2016. I feel that I am called by the Lord to be a minister of His Word. My objective is to live out  2 Timothy 3:14-17, by continuing in what I have been taught about the Lord and to be a servant of God, so that I might be able to equip the saints and reach the lost with the Gospel through expository preaching. 

My goal is to minister in a community church focused on strengthening Christians, serving others and reaching non-believers. I have a passion to serve the Lord and a desire to use all the spiritual gifts God has given me declare the excellencies of the Lord who saved me. One of my greatest joys in life is preaching the Bible verse-by-verse. I enjoy reading, studying the Bible and theology, playing guitar, playing golf, and spending time with friends and family.”

+ Work with parents to train them how to disciple their own children
+ Oversight of Children’s Ministry, Student Ministry, and Adult Ministries
