Meet our pastors
Jean-Claude & Chantal Segatagara
Pastor Jean-Claude was raised in Kinshasa, DR Congo where he started following the Lord at a very young age. As a young adult, he had the opportunity to participate in some village evangelism in Southern India. It is during this season that he started embracing the call for ministry. In 2001, he moved to the USA and continued serving the Lord through his passion for worship, supporting International worship groups in the greater Portland, Maine area. Before continuing his education in Civil Engineering in Massachusetts, he took a firm stand on his walk with Christ by taking full immersion baptism on April 6, 2003.
He moved to Maryland in 2008 where he met his beautiful and anointed wife, Chantal. Together, they have built a house of prayer warriors with their children: Xavier, Belina, and Branden. Pastor Jean-Claude strengthened his calling by serving in various ministries in the DMV area where he served as Worship leader, Sunday school teacher, Administrative Minister, and Outreach Minister.
In 2020, he decided to invest in his calling and joined the Pastor-Teacher School of the Apostolic Movement International Ministry for rigorous Pastoral Training. Since 2017, under the leadership of Apostle Diallo and Rev. Claudine, he has followed continuous leadership and Pastoral Discipleship training based on the Cross Pointe Churches Culture, serving as Outreach Minister at Cross Pointe Healing House.
He is passionate to see the young generation reach maturity in their faith so they can be true world changers. He has a heart for the less fortunate and strongly believes in making the church a place where people belong and can find rest. That is his mission as he leads Cross Pointe Abundant Grace.
Our Core Mission
Cross Pointe Abundant Grace is a community church that believes that every believer is a minister, every minister is a leader, every leader is a reproducer, and every reproducer is a world changer. Our mission is to establish a God-fearing Church that fosters joy, excellency, servanthood, unity, and self-discipline. Through these key attributes, we hope to establish an environment that will facilitate rest and strengthen faith through an in-depth study of God's word.
Cross Pointe Abundant Grace is part of the Cross Pointe Churches Family under the Apostleship of Dr. Eihad Diallo and was launched by Bishop Claudine Barandagiye, Senior Pastor of Cross Pointe Healing House.
