Pastor Joel Brandt
(Senior Pastor)
Pastor Joel is a pastor, musician, husband, father, fun-loving-goofball, and occasional homebrewer who genuinely enjoys meeting new people, making new friends, and and helping people discover more about God, faith and where we fit into it all.
Pastor Charlie Brandt
(Retired Pastor)
Pastor Charlie Brandt joined the Cross Lutheran team in 2023 after retiring from full-time ministry. As our retired pastor, he assists with worship, preaching, and church events. He has a soft spot for "The" Ohio State (though we try not to hold that against him), loves old westerns, and continues to be a blessing to the Cross family through his faithful service and encouraging presence.
Colleen Woerner
(Volunteer Secretary)
Colleen Woerner has been part of the Cross Lutheran family since the very beginning. What started as helping out in the church office in 2021 quickly turned into becoming an essential part of the team — and thankfully, she never left. Colleen is detail-oriented, creative, dependable, and deeply loves her family. She also enjoys building Legos as a fun hobby. Behind the scenes, she helps keep things running smoothly at Cross.
Jenna Mossner

Jenna Mossner helps coordinate and schedule the army of volunteers who keep ministry moving at Cross Lutheran. Organized, caring, and always ready to jump in where needed, Jenna plays a huge role in helping things run smoothly behind the scenes. Outside of church, she’s an avid dog lover and a devoted board game aficionado who’s always up for a good game night.
