Caleb Barrows grew up in central Ohio before attending Taylor University (2006-2010) to study International Missions. His dream to be a missionary however was shifted towards pastoral ministry and preaching which landed him at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (2011-2014) where he met Paul and Ashley Brandes. He worked for four years in Ohio and Michigan helping start new churches before moving down to central Kansas in the fall of 2019. Caleb now lives in Lyons with his wife Nicole.

Jess serves as our Children’s Ministry Director. She oversees our CM volunteers and teaching our King’s Cross kids how to follow Jesus.

Jessica Earle grew up in a home with a mother who leaned deeply into the Lord's provision through lots of circumstantial difficulties. Her influence set the stage for God to soften Jessica's heart and allow the Lord to mold her into a helper for those with "smaller" voices.

Jessica is married to high school sweetheart, Austin Earle, and together they have a 5 year old (Exum), a 2 year old (Ellison), and another boy due to arrive July 5th. Her love for kids began long before she had children but her passion to see them succeed spiritually and emotionally took root after having her first. She has worked in multiple children's church settings and has spent time as a lead teacher in a daycare. 

She is excited to take an already thriving children's program and allow the Lord to work in and through it as King's Cross Kids continues to grow.
