Rev. Justin Wyckoff

Pastor/Elder

Justin was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where he spent most of his life before entering full-time ministry. With over a decade in ministry he brings with him bringing with him a heart for discipleship, strong leadership experience, and a steady commitment to building gospel-centered community.

Justin holds a bachelor’s degree in Christian Studies with an emphasis in Youth Ministry from Grand Canyon University (2017) and a Master’s degree in Apologetics from Luther Rice Seminary (2019). Before coming to Maryland, he served as a Youth Pastor in churches across Colorado and Tennessee.

At The Crossings, Justin serves as an elder and the lead pastor. His ministry focus includes administration and church operations, as well as preaching and teaching.

Justin is married to his wife, Maggie, and together they are raising six wonderful children: Sean, Kevin, Alekzander, Micah, Malachi, and Annabel. When he’s not tending to ministry or family, you’ll likely find him in the garage restoring his 1947 Plymouth low rider, spinning a favorite vinyl record, or cooking something delicious to share with loved ones.

She aims to create an atmosphere where the entire congregation can engage in meaningful worship by clearing the way for the Holy Spirit to move.

She looks forward to serving alongside the young women and men of the ministry as they sing and give praise to the Lord!

How Leadership Works at The Crossings

At The Crossings Community Church, we follow a model of elder-led governance, which reflects the biblical pattern seen in passages like Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5, and 1 Peter 5:1–3. In this model, qualified elders lead the church by shepherding the congregation, providing spiritual oversight, and making key ministry decisions in alignment with Scripture and the mission of the church.

The members of The Crossings entrust the elders with responsibility for both spiritual leadership and day-to-day operations. This is not a hierarchical system, but one marked by mutual submission, shared authority, and a commitment to servant leadership.

Justin serves under the spiritual authority of Pastor Josh McClain, the Lead Pastor of our sponsoring church, Hagerstown Church, who also serves as an elder at The Crossings. Pastor Josh provides accountability, encouragement, and an external perspective to help our local team stay grounded and healthy.

Together, this elder team leads the church with prayerful discernment, humility, and a shared commitment to Christ and His people.
