Our PastorAL Team

Pastor Joshua, a native of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, grew up in Buffalo, New York and his wife Shatiqua was born and raised in Columbia, Tennessee. In 2009 Joshua moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he and Shatiqua met. Both being raised in the church and pk's (pastor's kids), they are no strangers to ministry life. Joshua has over 25 years of church experience directing and leading worship, pastoring youth, and serving in various leadership roles in the church including an elder. Having a heart for worship and music, Joshua has traveled across the world singing background vocals for many Gospel and Christian music artists.
 In 2017, after years of ignoring the call to pastor, Joshua said yes to God and the heart for Crossland was birthed. Crossland's mission is “to meet people where they are, encounter God and encourage a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.” Pastor Joshua's desire is to create a safe place for people to find authentic community, be equipped, and to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Shatiqua is a passionate teacher, worshipper, and leader dedicated to making the Gospel clear and accessible. Having over 20 years of ministry experience, Shatiqua is a key leader at Crossland where she provides pastoral support, leads in worship and other leadership roles, and also serves her community with authenticity and heart.
She has served the public health sector for over 14 years—10 of them focused on underserved communities—Shatiqua brings both compassion and expertise to her work. She holds degrees in Community Health and Health Education from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and a Master’s in Health and Human Performance from Middle Tennessee State University.
