Sonya McRay Welcoming & Connecting Coordinator

As Coordinator of this vital ministry, Sonya's goal is to provide a culture of caring and connectedness that makes everyone who encounters us experience a sense of belonging. She is responsible for the Next Steps classes that provide people with a more detailed look at who Fellowship is and what we are about. The class is designed to help give an in depth view of Fellowship's core values, ministries, and opportunities to serve as well as a way to connect with others and become a member of the church.

Believing that service can be a pathway to connectedness, Sonya has been active in Children's Ministry with preschoolers up to elementary-age children, as a small group co-leader with the Women's Ministry and as an actress with the Drama group. The McRays have been attending Fellowship since moving to Roswell in 1997. Introduced to the church through the playground, they stayed for the relevant Bible teaching and the authentic worship. Sonya and her college sweetheart, Nelson, enjoy beach time with their children Nia and Nevin.

Kevin Cross Stewardship Director

Kevin Cross is the best-selling author of "Building Your Financial Fortress in 52 Days" and "Embezzlement: A True Crime Story", which details his wayward early years and subsequent conversion.

At age 19, Kevin found himself $100,000 in debt, kicked out of law school, and in jail for embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from a high powered sheriff. In his cell, Kevin found torn pieces of scripture that touched his heart. He surrendered his life to Christ and God stayed the hands of his cell mate, a murderer condemned that day to a triple death sentence.

He was running a successful C.P.A. firm in the South Florida area in 2005 when he felt God calling him into ministry, so Kevin sold his house and tax practice to devote himself full-time to helping people surrender their finances to God.

In 2010, Kevin moved to the Atlanta area where he currently serves as Stewardship Director at Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, GA where his passion is helping people fulfill their divine calling so that they someday hear the words, "well done, good and faithful servant". Kevin and his wife, Stephanie, have two children, Rachel and Ethan.
