PASTORAL LEADERSHIP
Pastor Aaron Stevenson
Senior Pastor
Pastor Stevenson, the senior pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church was born in Newport News, Virginia. Pastor Stevenson grew up in a Christian home and was saved at the young age of seven, and baptized shortly after that. Under his father’s ministry in West Virginia, Pastor Stevenson surrendered to the call to preach in a mission’s conference at the age of twelve.
​
Right before graduating from Ambassador Baptist College with a Youth Ministries degree, Pastor Stevenson met Candace, his future wife. Candace grew up in Wichita, Kansas in a pastor’s home as well. She was saved at five years old after being convicted of her need for Jesus during a family devotional time. She later surrendered to full-time Christian ministry and attended Ambassador Baptist College for a degree in music.
In August of 2016, Pastor Aaron Samples of Grace Baptist Church in Urbana, Ohio, hired Pastor Stevenson to be his assistant and minister of music. In 2023, Pastor Stevenson graduated with his Master of Ministries degree from Ambassador Baptist College. That same year Pastor and Candace were blessed to have the opportunity to adopt Elijah, when he was just over a year old.
​
After eight years serving in Ohio, Crossroads Baptist Church called Pastor Stevenson as their next pastor on December 8, 2024.
