Darryl Jones
Elder / Lead Pastor
Darryl and his family moved to the Kansas City Metro early in 1999 and started Crossroads Church on April 4th of the same year. Before becoming the Lead/Founding Pastor at Crossroads, Darryl and Sharon started their ministry as student/worship pastors in both Tennessee and Ohio for their first seven years out of college. They are 1992 graduates of Mission University in Springfield, MO. Darryl has a strong passion for helping people find and follow Jesus and loves to talk about how we can best make a difference in this world using the Bible. Darryl’s calling and gifting is that of shepherding – leading, loving and nurturing the flock of God. It is his passion that followers of Jesus live ALL of Christ for ALL of life with INTENTIONALITY.
Darryl and Sharon have been married for 33 years and have three adult children, their beloved spouses and four grandchildren: Brooke and Zach, Brittany, Elijah, Macrina, and Alquin; and Brian, Sophie, Theodore, and Alexander – who are all pursuing Jesus and others all around the world.
Darryl loves to hang out in the heart of big cities, going on mission trips, sipping good coffee over great conversation with his kids, and hanging out with the grands. But his favorite place in the world is at home with his wife.
