Michael Thomas

Executive Pastor

Meet our Executive Pastor and one of our team leaders, Michael Thomas!

Michael, Erin and their boys moved to Edinburgh in 2020, leaving behind their lives in the US to come and work for Crossroads Church. Michael worked for 14 years as an actuary in the corporate world prior to making the leap into ministry.

“God wastes nothing and it is amazing to see how the Lord takes all of our past experiences and uses them for His glory. It has been special to see the role that He wants me to play in leading Crossroads Church.”

Michael enjoys spending time with his family, taking walks around Edinburgh, and exploring as much of Scotland as possible!
