GREG HARRIS

Elder

As a young man in his early twenties, though raised in a family with good moral standards, Greg did not know Jesus as his Savior. As a matter of fact, spiritual things were not even on his radar. Then life began to close in, as things and relationships became more difficult. The Lord was so gracious as to send a local pastor who knew Jesus to introduce Him and His life giving water.

Greg and Marcia lived in the mountains of Colorado (which they loved) but the Lord laid on their hearts to sell their home and in October of 2005 to join Tom and Dawn Harcus in Wilmington and become one of the founding families of Crossway Chapel of Wilmington.

Fresh to grand-parenting, Greg and Marcia now have two grand baby girls to their eldest son Sean and daughter-in-law Erica, in addition son Samuel (go Wolfpack) and now married daughter Hannah (interior design grad from App State).   

Though the mountains are their favorite landscape/environment, even in a beach setting they still enjoy getting together with neighbors and friends for that hot cup of coffee or tea and great conversation about the lover of our souls. As a Pastors Institute graduate from the first graduating class in Wilmington along with James Larrabee, Greg has, by the grace and Spirit of God continued to deepen his relationship with the one who saved him and the desire to make Him known.

Saul Matus

Director of Children's Ministries

Saul Matus moved to the Wilmington area in 1996 and became a follower of Christ ten years later during his college years. He has been married to Sandy for almost 9 years and they have three beautiful children. He has recently completed the Pastoral Leadership Institute, a two year program through Crossway Chapel. Saul and Sandy have been part of the Crossway movement for over nine years and couldn't picture themselves anywhere else. They are both committed to the biblical truths they have learned and have a passion to make their lives count. Part of that is investing in and raising up the next generation of solid believers who are sold out for Jesus!
