Randy was born in Anchorage Alaska and grew up on a farm in Minnesota. After high school he lived about 12 years in San Diego California. While attending the “School of Evangelism,” he went on a mission’s trip to Montana and was invited to come and help with the Jr. High ministry. He packed his bags and moved to Bigfork in the summer of 1997. The next few years he volunteered with the youth at the church and attended school. He received a Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree from Trinity Biblical University in June of 1999.

 

In January of 2000 he was asked to come on staff full time as a youth Pastor.  The following June he was Ordained and five months later he purchased a home and moved to Woods Bay, just south of Bigfork. 

 

He has a great love for the outdoors and feels blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Most of his hobbies take him outside where he enjoys the beauty of Montana. He enjoys fishing, hunting, hiking and playing golf.

 

Joseph Haug accepted Christ in 6th grade and got the fire of Jesus lit under him his junior year of high school through his youth pastor, Elijah Waters. He then went to college at Eastern Washington University and got a degree in Secondary Music Education in 2009. During college, he served in youth ministries and officially became a MS Youth Pastor in 2007 at a church plant in Kennewick, Washington. He taught for 6 years while doing volunteer ministry. He met the love of his life Leslie, and they married in December 2010. She has been serving alongside him in youth ministries ever since. In June 2013, Joseph and Leslie felt the call to sell everything and move to Bigfork, Montana. Joseph started working for Intermountain Children’s Agency, working with troubled youth and then took a job teaching music at Swan River School while serving the youth of Crossroads. In 2014, Joseph came on staff at Crossroads as the Youth Pastor, where he and Leslie still serve, running Middle School, High School and Young Adult Ministries. In his free time he enjoys hanging out around a fire, playing ukulele, playing drums, video gaming, and most of all hanging out with his wife.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was born in California and moved to Montana in November 1991. I have been a part of this church since its beginning. After a brief absence, I returned to Crossroads in 2006. I have adult sons (Kevin and Robert) and wonderful grandchildren (Tate and Sloane). In 2010, I received my Bachelors of Biblical Studies degree from Trinity Biblical University. In 2013, I received certificate from American Association of Christian Counselors and am presently leading this ministry along with a wonderful group of counselors. I have so enjoyed joining the other staff members in being the hands and feet of Jesus to our Crossroads family.
