Tara Osborne, Children & Families Worker, & Focal Minister
I am a passionate Christian who wants to see God’s kingdom grow full of children and families. I love doing action songs and getting messy doing crafts. I spend my time looking at new children's materials to help their faith grow. I love worship music and prayer stations. The vision I have for Crosspool is to see the different churches and all ages come together as one and rejoice in the Lord.
