Our Pastors and staff

God has blessed CrossPointe with an amazing group of pastors, support staff, and volunteers who put in countless hours each week to minister to people in our church and in our community. Here are a few insights and fun facts about them.

Mike Butler

Lead Pastor - mbutler @ crosspointe.tv

Mike Butler has been serving Christ as a pastor for nearly 20 years. He and his wife Debbie have served at CrossPointe since 2005 in different ministries including College, Singles, and Adult ministries.  As Lead Pastor, Mike attempts to point people to Jesus in every way that he can through engaging sermons, weekly classes, and by leading a home group. Holding Masters degrees in Religion and Professional Ministry from Liberty University, Mike believes that education is key to better understanding the Christian faith.  He serves as an adjunct professor at Hillsdale College in Moore teaching subjects such as Christian Theology, Biblical Interpretation, Comparative Religions, and Christian Counseling.

In addition to education, Mike believes that are not really growing in Christ unless we get our hands and feet dirty in the messiness that is ministry. So he and his wife have participated in global relief efforts with the 1040Initiative, working with DHS and foster kids through Royal Family Kids, and looking for ways to pour into their own community through various efforts.

Finally, Mike is just a regular guy with a passion for Jesus.  He longs to see his family grow in their faith and live from that place. He believes that each moment of our lives are granted to bring God glory - from leading people to Jesus to appreciating the power of a good cup of coffee.  He loves music, reading, and professional wrestling.

Mike Lewis

Worship and Arts Pastor - mlewis @ crosspointe.tv

Michael and his family have been part of the ministry at CrossPointe for over 20 years. He has served in churches in Oklahoma, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas. As Worship and Arts Pastor, Michael has developed and mentored music teams at CrossPointe,  Hillsdale College, and nationally selected Youth Evangelistic Teams from Randall House Publishing. A masters graduate of Liberty University, Michael serves with his wife Bethany and their three children in areas of technology, worship leadership, planning, and training. Michael believes that worship music has always been an integral part of the church, especially here at CrossPointe. It has allowed people to move beyond simply hearing truth, and to express that truth back to God, the Creator. It’s a dynamic experience where God’s message becomes our own. It’s a catalyst for change that can transform who we are and how we see God.

Hometown - Cleveland, OK

What's currently in your CD player?- Mozart 

Why did you come to CrossPointe? - I've been a part of the Free Will Baptist Church for my entire life, so when I moved to Norman in 1972, we naturally came to CrossPointe. 

Who inspires you? - Winston Churchhill - He is probably the greatest statesman in recent history.

What is your greatest memory? -  December 7, 1941 - Pearl Harbor - My role model was my uncle and I knew he was supposed to have been at Pearl Harbor. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about how I felt when I heard the news on the radio that we had been attacked.  It turns out though, that he was one day away from arriving at the base.

Your greatest indulgence?  - Ice Cream

Your last purchase?  - A Chocolate Malt!!!!!!!
