Crossroads Church has recently become aware of a statement made by a member of our community regarding alleged inappropriate physical humor by Senior Pastor Brian Tome during a video shoot in late 2015.
Crossroads was previously made aware of these claims in 2024. At that time, the Crossroads Spiritual Board conducted an investigation independent of Pastor Tome and any other Crossroads staff members to determine validity and next steps. Following additional discussion of the alleged incident with the board – including a conversation with Pastor Tome while a board member was present – the involved community member communicated to Crossroads that the meeting “went very well.”
At that time, the board reminded Pastor Tome of the weight of his words and actions and formally admonished Pastor Tome to be mindful to be above reproach. The board then considered the issue resolved.
The same community member recently contacted Crossroads again about the same allegations. The Board takes these matters seriously and has carefully reviewed the situation again. Although no new information about the alleged incident has been provided, Crossroads is hiring an independent investigator to review the situation and to interview all parties to the alleged incident. The Crossroads Spiritual Board has officially suspended Pastor Tome from all Crossroads responsibilities until the investigation is completed. We’re committed to however long the investigation will take and will provide updates as we know more.
We pray for truth, reconciliation, and unity for each of us, our community, and our world and ask for you to pray along with us as we walk through this process.
-The Crossroads Spiritual Board
