Meet the Staff of Cross Roads Church

Rev. Dr. Peter Traben Haas - Interim Pastor.  Peter was born in Traben-Trarbach, Germany and grew up in Brookfield, Wisconsin. He has served as a pastor in the PCUSA since 2000, serving churches in Flint, Michigan; Austin, Texas and Waterloo, Iowa. Peter earned his M.Div. from Princeton Seminary and a Doctorate of Ministry from Austin Presbyterian Seminary. Peter is the author of several books, including Centering Prayers: A One  Year Daily Companion for Going Deeper into the Love of God. For fun, Peter loves to read, hike and mountain bike. He is grateful to call central Texas home, and excited to serve Cross Roads Church during this interim season. Peter and his wife, Shannon, make their home in Austin.
​Lisa L Ringler - Office Manager.  Lisa grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and when her husband, Gordon, retired from the military the family landed in San Antonio, Texas.  She joined the ministry team of Cross Roads Church in 2006. Lisa grew up in a Lutheran church but has been a member of Presbyterian churches her entire adult life. She has a certificate in Theology & Ministry from Princeton Theological Seminary, is an ordained elder in the PCUSA, serves as a church community member on the Northeast Health Ministry Team and enjoys volunteering at SAMMinistries' Transitional Living & Learning Center.   God has blessed Lisa & Gordon with three amazing children and one granddaughter.
Amy Oxley - Choir Director.    Amy Oxley grew up an "air force brat," and was privileged to have lived in many different places throughout the United States as a child.  Eventually she and her family settled in Dayton, Ohio... so that's technically the place she calls "home." She attended Bowling Green State University, where she graduated cum laude with a degree in Music Education in 1995.  After college, Amy took a leap of faith and moved to San Antonio, hoping and praying to get a job... and she hasn’t looked back since! Within months of her move, Amy found and became a member of John Calvin Presbyterian Church, now known as Cross Roads Church. She was an active participant in the music ministry, from singing soprano in the JCPC choir to playing hand bells and volunteering with the children’s music ministry. In 2000, she officially became a part of the music staff and has been serving ever since. In addition to leading music here at Cross Roads Church, Amy is a full time middle school teacher and teaches (what else?) choir. Amy is blessed with three amazing children… Brandon, Taylor and Samantha… and one really cute rescue puppy named Phoebe. In her spare time, she likes to sing (of course!), run and kick box.​
Gordon W Ringler - Worship Leader.   Growing up in Omaha with Lisa, Gordon began his musical training early.  A trumpet and composition major at the University of Nebraska, Gordon gave up music for the Air Force.  Along the way over the years, Gordon felt called back into music through worship.  Now retired from the Air Force, Gordon runs a continuing medical education company here in San Antonio.  Gordon co-leads the music ministry at Cross Roads with Amy Oxley and primarily leads the Contemporary Worship Praise Team.  Gordon is also a Commissioned Ruling Elder - formerly known as a Commissioned Lay Pastor in the Presbyterian church.  Gordon & Lisa enjoy cooking, serving and family.​
