Our Staff

Mike has a passion for carefully unpacking the truths of Scripture. He has served at Holy Cross for fifteen years. He received his undergrad from Concordia University Texas and his Master of Divinity from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis MS. He and his wife, Michelle, have two kids. Mike has served our Texas District LWML as their Counselor. He leads a staff that is passionate about missionary work and has a heart for the people and students of Bryan/College Station.
​Neil served as pastor for 36 years in Texas and Illinois before retiring in 2008. Neil and his beautiful bride, Sheridan, are the proud parents of three grown children. They are the even prouder grandparents of six uncontestedly good looking and terrifically bright grandchildren: Wally, Theo, Olivia, Ellison, Libby and Hayes. Neil has served Holy Cross as part-time Family Life Director and has morphed to Teaching Pastor. If you haven't yet attended Sunday morning Adult Class, you should give it a try.
Tony has been a director of music or graphics in LCMS churches both part and full time for nearly 20 years, and has been with Holy Cross since September of 2009. He leads music and technology at Holy Cross. You might find Bach, or John Williams in his CD player, and Monet on his computer screen - and hear him do a little jazz on a tenor sax or clarinet. He doesn't have a specific favorite genre - he loves all types and styles of music.
Jonathan or JB, as Pastor and Tony have dubbed him, is excited to be a part of the ministry at Holy Cross since January 2020. He has a passion for working with our youth and parents as they grow in their relationship with Christ and learn how to share the Good News with the world around them. When he is not working with HC Youth, he is spending time with his wife Theodora (Dora) and son Kellan traveling and checking out the area foodie options.
​
Michelle has a love of children that began when she was in high school.  She is a graduate of Concordia University Texas where she majored in elementary education and met her husband Mike, lead pastor of Holy Cross. They are proud parents of two children. Over the years, she has taught children from 18 months up to 2nd grade.  Michelle was instrumental in starting Holy Cross Lutheran Learning Center and has taught every age level at the preschool.  She stepped out of the classroom to become the preschool's director in 2013.  Michelle enjoys working with the children at HCLLC and ministering to the families.
Kendra began working for Holy Cross in 2014. She takes care of our pastors/staff and their needs, membership matters, communications and office management. Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with family and friends whether it is entertaining at home or attending a sporting event.
Office Hours: Mon. - Fri. // 9am - 3pm.
Lori has been a member of Holy Cross since 2006 and started managing our finances in March 2022. She is a vital part of what helps keep HC running!
