Cara Martens

Hey there! I’m Cara, the Kids Pastor here at Crossroads. You can typically find me down in the basement with the older children on Sunday mornings, but my responsibilities are officially over birth through fifth grade.

My dad was in the Air Force so I moved all over until I married my husband of almost 25 years who grew up here in Highland Village. Both our older kids graduated high school from his alma mater down the road, Marcus, which is pretty cool. Our youngest loves the youth group here and serves as well. I’m a huge reader, I like to research and blog, plus travel whenever I can. I adore our goofy goldendoodle except when she sees a squirrel. And I’m currently trying to break my Dr. Pepper habit which is hard to do when you live in Texas.

I’m lucky that my job has always felt like a passion since I was young. I get to help kids connect with not only a big God, but also other people that will learn their names, get down on their level and show them how much they are seen and loved. I don’t think that’s ever been more important than now! If you’d like to jump in to help us on Sunday or Wednesday mornings, please let me know. I can hook you up and find you just the right spot.
