Year Round Staff

Executive Director Anthony Briggs

ANTHONY BRIGGS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Anthony is originally from North Carolina and has been with Cross Roads since 2010. He has worked professionally in Youth and Outdoor Ministries for more than 30 years. Before coming to New Jersey, he served as Executive Director of Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center in Western New York and as Executive Director of Lutheran Retreats, Camps and Conferences of Southern California. Travel, reading, history, working with all ages of people, and pottery are a few things he loves. Writing bios about himself…not so much.
