Pastor Barry has been pastor of New Pointe Church since it became New Pointe Church in 2019, when the name was changed from Crossroads Full Gospel Church.
Pastor Barry and his wife are native to the Pekin area and God has called him and his wife to lead New Pointe forward with what God is doing in this community.
Pastor Barry’s passion is the same as that of the Apostles in the Book of Acts. To follow the great commission, to reach the lost, heal the sick, and restore the broken hearted. Barry operates in many giftings including the apostolic, prophetic and teaching gifts and is an adamant supporter of outreach and healing rooms ministries.
Pastor Barry was ordained in 2009 at Crossroads Church and holds a degree in Bible and Pastor Studies from Berean Bible College. Barry also holds Bachelors of Information Technology, Masters of IT Management, and Masters of Data Analytics from Western Governors University.
Barry is bi-vocational and also services as the Chief Information Officer at Samaritan Ministries International, a healthcare sharing ministry (www.samaritanministries.org).
Pastor Barry and his wife Janice have four grown children, all of who serve in the ministry as pastor’s and worship leaders. Barry and Janice also are proud grandparents of four grandchildren.
