Rev. Justin Wyckoff

Justin was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, where he spent most of his life before entering full-time ministry. He began serving the church in 2019, 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.

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.

Rev. Josh McClain

Pastor/ Elder

Josh and his wife Sarah were married in 2004 and are the proud parents of seven children—Riley, Elijah, Joselyn, Caroline, Alainnah, Aria, and Gus. As a family, they love spending time together crabbing at the beach or camping in the mountains.

Josh trusted in Jesus for salvation and was baptized during his sophomore year of high school. He has served in pastoral ministry for over 15 years and holds a bachelor’s degree in biblical and theological studies. His greatest desire is to help others truly delight in Jesus and grow in joyful, gospel-centered faith.

In addition to serving as Lead Pastor at Hagerstown Church, Josh also serves as a shepherding elder for The Crossings Community Church, providing spiritual oversight and encouragement to our local elder team. His presence ensures external accountability, pastoral support, and gospel alignment as The Crossings continues to grow.

Mrs. Maggie Wyckoff

Worship Leader

Maggie serves as the Worship Leader at the church, bringing a heart for Christ-centered worship and a passion for leading others into God’s presence through music and Scripture. With decades of ministry experience, Maggie blends spiritual depth, creativity, and leadership in every aspect of her service.

She has been actively involved in church ministry since the age of 13, serving in various volunteer and leadership roles across multiple areas. Maggie holds a Ministry School certification and a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.

She also teaches 7th grade through Classical Conversations and runs a part-time life coaching business focused on helping women grow in purpose and spiritual wholeness.

Outside of ministry and teaching, Maggie enjoys working out, writing, and spending quiet time reflecting on God’s faithfulness.

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.

Currently, Pastor Phil Graves and Pastor Justin Wyckoff serve as co-pastors and elders. They work together to lead and care for the church. Pastor Phil’s focus includes connections and technology, while Pastor Justin leads in administration. They also share the responsibilities of teaching and preaching, each bringing their unique gifts and perspectives to the pulpit.

Both Phil and Justin serve under the spiritual authority of Pastor Josh McClain, the Lead Pastor of our sponsoring church, Hagerstown Church, who also serves as the third 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.
