Matt Potratz

Pastor
Administration, Missions, and Outreach Ministries
Matt@CrossroadsFamily.org

My passion is to see people fall in love with Jesus and grow to love others the way He has first loved us. I married Amy, my high school sweetheart and the love of my life, in 1998. Together we have five wonderful children, three boys and two little princesses, who keep us smiling and active. Born and raised in Sacramento, I graduated from Del Campo High School in 1993 and then attended American River College. Feeling God's call on my life, I transferred to Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Bible/Theology as well as Youth Ministry in 1999. My family came to Crossroads in 1977 and I grew up attending the children and youth programs here. As a young boy, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, trusting Him alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Since that early encounter with Christ's love, God has been faithfully guiding my life to fulfill His purposes and plans. In 2000, I was called back home to serve as youth pastor. In 2008, I transitioned to an associative pastor's role and currently serve as the Administrative pastor here at Crossroads.

I came to know the Lord as a kid through the testimony of my parents and the ministry of this church. When I was 19, I went to Multnomah Bible College in Portland Oregon. In 2002, I both graduated from college and met my wife Brittany. We married in 2004 and we currently have three precious daughters, Jordyn Rose, Hannah Jo and Emme Lu and we have one boy, Jeremy James. I've been on staff at Crossroads since 2008. In 2014, I began to work closely with the Crossroads Kids (CK) Leadership Team, helping to shape the vision and strategy of how we Engage and Equip our children to know and love Jesus. Since, 2016 I've been able to focus my ministry leadership investment fully into CK. We are focused on creating a culture that raises up passionate followers of Jesus.
