Polly is a native Minnesotan, although she spent the majority of her adult life in Chicago, where she studied Youth Ministry and Biblical & Theological Studies at North Park University.  In 2020 Polly was granted "Ministry License" by the Evangelical Covenant Church.  After living in Chicago for 10 years, her family and home state called her back.  After 15 years at Crosstown, Polly has particiated in many areas of ministry.  Currently as the Pastor of  Family Ministry, she enjoys  "journeying alongside kids, youth & families as they explore and discover who they are in Christ!" When Polly is not at church, she enjoys being with her husband and 3 sons. 

Brandon and his wife, Heather, have been attending Crosstown since 2013. Since joining the church, they have welcomed two daughters, Malin and Elinor, into their family. Brandon became involved in the Worship Ministry early on, serving in a variety of roles including bass, keys, vocals, and assisting with A/V production. In April 2025, he stepped into the role of Worship Director and is excited for what the future holds for the ministry and church community.
Outside of church, Brandon manages an automotive repair facility during the week. When he is not working or making music, he enjoys auto racing, hockey, football, and just about any other competitive sport he can find. Basically, if it could appear on ESPN The Ocho, he is probably watching it.
