Joplin Emberson
Lead Pastor

Pastor Joplin Emberson, and his wife Andrea, were saved in January of 2000. In one of the darkest hours of his life, God delivered Joplin out of severe drug addiction. God is using this family in a powerful way, as a living example, to show this world that God still delivers; God still saves; and God still loves even the worst of sinners. Nobody is outside the reach of God's magnificant love and mercy. God is always there, and always willing, to reach down and save the man or woman who will honestly cry out to Him for salvation in Jesus name. Joplin and his wife Andrea planted Cross Way Church of Derby, Ks. The first service was held on Mother's Day of 2006. The church has grown continually since that date and many have come to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ as a result of what God is doing in the church. Cross Way Church is a non-denominational ministry with a focus on Jesus Christ and the redemptive work that Christ accomplished through the cross.
