Brian Tome, Founder and Senior Pastor at Crossroads Church, has become a member of the Institute’s 2018-2019 Advisory Board. Crossroads, a multi-site church based in Cincinnati, is considered the fastest growing church in America with the nation’s fourth-largest congregation. Within his Crossroads congregation, Brian has been able to foster an ever-growing passion for social entrepreneurship.

38,000 members in 16 sites across the country are actively engaged in combating generational poverty in Cincinnati’s urban core through CityLink Center as well as helping to create wealth upstream through OCEAN Programs, a faith-based business accelerator for venture backable businesses, and Unpolished, which helps traditional startups. Crossroads also supports ventures outside the country; supporting Entrepreneurship in South Africa, building homes in India for girls rescued from sex slavery, and feeding and educating children in Nicaragua.

In addition to his work at Crossroads, Brian has also authored three books: Welcome to the Revolution, Free Book, and 5 Marks of a Man.

Brian studied Theology at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

The Insititute is excited to have Brian on board!
