Parker Cross - Senior Minister

Email Parker

The children probably call him Pastor Parker.  He is the Reverend Parker Cross who holds a bachelor degree from Texas Christian University and a Master of Divinity degree from Brite Divinity School.  He came to us with broad experience.  He served in four churches in Texas, including serving as the startup pastor at one, before coming to CHCC in January 2000.  While we hired him away from Texas, he is actually an Oklahoma native, born in Tulsa.  Besides serving our church, he is also on the Board of the Regional Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Oklahoma.  Parker's wife, Marion, is an early childhood education professional.  He has two adult children and a new cat, at least new to the family.
