Brian Tome is the Senior Pastor of Crossroads, which he founded in 1995. He and a group of friends in Cincinnati wanted to create a place for their friends who had given up on church, but had not necessarily given up on God. Crossroads now hosts more than 12,000 people and is actively engaged in combating generational poverty in Cincinnati's urban core, operating a medical clinic and supporting an HIV/AIDS hospice in South Africa, and battling child sex slavery in India. Brian and his wife, Libby, have three children.
