Senior Associate Pastor - paulbraschler@crossroadsharrison.org

With nearly 30 years of ministry staff experience, including 17+ years at CrossRoads, Paul brings many skills and wisdom to the table. His role as Senior Associate Pastor includes responsibilities in Worship leadership, Executive Leadership Team, Teaching, Pastoral Care, and Senior Adult ministry.

Paul’s favorite title is Worship Pastor, and he continues to grow a deep understanding of individual and corporate worship. It is his desire to help worshippers connect with God at a very intimate level. His love for people is contagious as is his passion for them to know the life changing love of Jesus.

Paul comes from a ministry family. His father pastored for 28 years and retired from ministry in the Branson, MO area where they operated the Braschler Music Show for 23 years. Paul’s love for music and love for the Lord have led him down an incredible path of music and ministry. 

Paul’s wife, Merissa, serves on the worship ministry team where they generously share their God-given musical gifts. They both have big hearts to love people with an overflow of God’s love, starting with one another, their children, grandchildren and also the world beyond.

Associate Pastor - mathewcummmings@crossroadsharrison.org

Mathew has been part of the Crossroads family for more than a decade, serving faithfully in a variety of roles. From June 2014 to October 2023, he poured his heart into leading students as our Student Pastor. After a short time away, he returned in May 2025 to serve as Associate Pastor—continuing his passion for helping people grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus.

A proud Florida Gator, Mathew earned his B.A. in Religion from the University of Florida and his Master of Divinity in Theology from Liberty University. When he’s not at church, you’ll probably find him cheering on the Gators, hitting the gym, walking his dog Gryffen, spending time outdoors, or catching a good game.

Over the past several years, Psalm 46:10 —“Be still, and know that I am God,” has played an integral role in Mathew's own spiritual growth and it now reflects his heart for helping others find peace and confidence in God’s presence, no matter what life brings.

Secretary/ Treasurer - samanthaharness@crossroadsharrison.org

Samantha is a Harrison graduate, and has also received degrees in Marketing and Graphic Design from Missouri State University and MCCKC. After spending several years in Missouri, she is grateful for the work God has done to bring her back to her hometown.

Samantha began attending CrossRoads in 2018 with her now-husband, Richard. In October 2019, she was baptized in the church by Pastor Johnny Walters, and he officiated Richard and Samantha’s wedding in November of the same year. CrossRoads has been a significant part of Samantha’s life since returning to Harrison, and as proof that God’s vision is far greater than our sight, she feels truly blessed to be able to serve the CrossRoads community as a member of the staff, which she joined in November of 2022. 

Samantha and Richard are avid fans of the St. Louis Cardinals and Arkansas Razorbacks. They also enjoy being outdoors and working with their cattle. Samantha also enjoys a number of creative hobbies utilizing her background in photography and design in her spare time.

Children's Ministry Intern

Addison has been serving as a Children’s Ministry Intern at Crossroads since May 2024. She is a 2025 graduate of Harrison High School and is currently pursuing her Registered Nursing (RN) degree at North Arkansas College.

She has been a part of the CrossRoads family since 2012. Addison was baptized here at the age of 10 by former Children’s Pastor Mrs. Bev. Her love for the Lord and heart for serving have continued to grow through the years, leading her to invest in the lives of the next generation.

As the Children’s Intern, Addison has a passion for helping kids know and love Jesus. She enjoys building relationships with children and their families and has the privilege of leading the children’s large group. Her desire is for every child to feel loved, welcomed, and encouraged as they grow in their faith.

When she’s not at church Addison enjoys spending time with family and friends. She loves being outdoors, especially during the summer, whether she's swimming at the lake or relaxing by the pool.

Student/Children's Ministry Intern - edge@crossroadsharrison.org

Drew serves as a Student and Children’s Ministry Intern at CrossRoads, a role she has faithfully filled since May 2024.

A lifelong member of CrossRoads, Drew is a true "church baby." She has had the unique privilege of being dedicated as an infant and later married within the same church family she has always called home. Her ministry journey began as an elementary student in CrossRoads KIDZ, where she helped lead worship during children's church. That passion continued through her student years as a member of the Edge worship team, and she has faithfully served on the adult worship team since she was a teen.

Drew earned her Associate of Arts degree in Elementary Education from North Arkansas College. Her love for children, students, and discipleship naturally compliments her desire to serve the local church.

She and her husband, Tyler, were married in October 2025. Together they enjoy serving at CrossRoads, with Tyler volunteering in Student Ministry and on the AV team.

Ministry has been woven into Drew's story for generations. Her great-grandfather and grandfather both served as pastors, and her great-grandfather once pastored the church that would eventually become CrossRoads. That rich heritage has helped shape her love for God's people and His Church, but her deepest desire is to faithfully answer God's personal call on her own life.
