Leadership

Shepherded by elders

CrossLife is elder-governed. These are the men who teach, pray for, and care for our congregation — and who are glad to meet you.

Todd Cothran

Pastor

todd@crosslife.church

Todd and his family (wife Renee and four children) moved to Charlottesville in 2012 to replant the church now known as CrossLife. He formerly served as an associate pastor and elder at Front Range Alliance Church in Colorado Springs. Before that (1996–2008), he worked at Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, Colorado, where he directed the ministry's Christian leadership program for college-bound students and, later, the curriculum department. Todd holds an MA from Biola University and a Th.M. from New Covenant School of Theology.

Chuck Cole

Elder

Married to Robin, father of Kendall, Trent and Georgia. Moved with his family to the Crozet area in 2004 and has worked as a self-employed recruiter since 2000. Enjoys the outdoors, short-term mission trips, and really good ice cream. Prays that the body of Christ will utilize her full potential in proclaiming the gospel of God's Kingdom to all people groups.

Charles Dumaresq

Elder

Charles has a passion for apologetics and for teaching and mentoring young people. He holds an MA from Trinity Theological Seminary in Indiana, where he concentrated his studies in New Testament history and biblical archaeology. He also studied these areas at Dallas Theological Seminary and Associates for Biblical Research. He served 17 years in vocational pastoral ministry before transitioning to an insurance career. He and his wife, Susan, have four daughters and live in Free Union, VA.

Steve Forister

Elder

Steve is a teacher and elder at CrossLife, where he leads the youth Sunday School class. For years he served full time with a short-term missions organization to Latin America and U.S. inner cities, and he has spoken on various topics at many youth retreats and adult conferences. Today he works in the high-tech industry and serves on the board of Pour International, a Christian ministry serving Eswatini in southern Africa. He and his wife, Peri, are raising five children and live in Charlottesville.
