Rev. Dr. Ting Yik Leung

Senior Pastor

Pastor Leung was born in Hong Kong in 1962 and became a Christian after high school. After baptism in 1980 at Shatin Baptist Church, Hong Kong, he came to the US for college education. He received all his degrees in the US: BA in Special Education(Glenville State, West Virginia, 1983), MEd in Learning Disability and Rehabilitation Counseling(University of Texas, Austin, 1985) , MDiv and DMin(Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, CA, 1988 and 1993). Pastor Leung returned to Hong Kong in 1988 and served 27 years at his mother church, helping the church to grow from around 100 people to 5000 weekly attendance. Pastor Leung and family moved back to the Bay Area in 2014. Pastor Leung’s wife Helen, married in January 1991, grew up in the Bay Area and currently works as an engineer team lead in a Silicon Valley company. The eldest daughter, Zaneta, is a hair stylist while Kay, the younger one, graduated from BIOLA University in Southern California and currently is pursuing her graduate studies at Claremont Graduate University. Reading is a wishful leisure activity for Pastor Leung if he can find some spare time to do so; while gardening, cooking, home improvement and car repairs have become “involuntary” hobbies.

Rev. Jacky Cheng

Associate Senior Pastor(Eastern Region), Campus Pastor of Pleasanton and Tracy

I grew up in Hong Kong and immigrated to Bay Area with family in 1991. God called me at an evangelistic meeting, and then I was baptized and began walking with Jesus at 1993. By the grace of God I had many opportunities to serve at church through different ministries – fellowship, discipleship and church planting. At Crosspoint, I experienced the joy of serving God and the transformation of Holy Spirit. In 2008, God called me to preach His words to the end of the world and gave me confidence through Christ to God-ward. Then I attended Overseas Theological Seminary to equip myself as a full time minister. In 2011, I served at Crosspoint as Small Group Pastor.

My passions are making disciples, building church and bible teaching. My favorite quote is ‘Let my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God.’

I enjoy cooking food for my wife and two daughters and also traveling with them to explore the world. In my free time, I like biking, running and swimming.

My favorite food is糯米雞 (Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf).

I also like swimming, hiking and fixing things at home, too! I am married to Sue. We met in Tennessee, and she is a wonderful wife and a dear partner in life and ministry.

I have been serving at Crosspoint since November 2005. As you can tell, I really enjoy every bit of the ministry experiences at Crosspoint because Crosspoint is a place where people can experience a personal encounter with Jesus, a home where people can discover God’s purposes in their lives, and also a base where people can impact the world with the love of God. It is my great pleasure and privilege to be able to serve God and you at Crosspoint. I love Crosspoint, and I sincerely hope that if you get a chance to check it out, you will love it too!”

Rev. Alan Chow

Campus Pastor of Peninsula

Alan was raised up in a Buddhist family; however it was God’s grace that he attended Christian junior high school where he began reading and studying the Bible. Though Alan acknowledged Christ as a Savior during his high school year in Hong Kong, yet he did not accept Christ into his heart until he emigrated into the United States. Under the guidance of a pastor at San Bruno, Alan came to have a deeper understanding that he is sinner because he had rejected God’s righteousness, plans and purpose in his life.

In 2009, while Alan was preparing for Sunday School for the last chapter of the Gospel of John, he was deeply touched by the love of Jesus to feed His lambs. From then on Alan has a strong sense of growing compulsion to preach and to teach the Word, and to minister to the people of God. After receiving the affirmation from some spiritual elders and pastors and most importantly from his wife, Alan enrolled at Christian Witness Theological Seminary in 2014 to prepare himself as a full time church minister. Alan obtained his Master of Divinity in 2016.

I am very grateful as a high school teacher for 7 years to teach Psychology and counseling that made me simple, lively, and modest heart! The spiritual pastoring of the Deanna couple from Focus on the Family, as well as the cultivation and shepherding of Master Lu Shen, have been committed to marriage and family ministry and campus ministry, willing to be God’s grace and blessing pipeline!

My favorite food is Ma la Tang. I like to travel, drink coffee with people, listen to stories and music, read books, and play ping pong. My husband, Steven, and I have been married since 2004 with two boys, Leo and Lemeul . If God’s timing is coming, we will go to Japan for missions.

Pastor Paul Sin

Family Zone Pastor

Paul Sin was born in 1965 in Macau. Came to Christ with a simple yet deep conviction that God is Omnipresence when he was 8. Immigrated to the US when he was 11. He grew up in a poor family and had to work at an early age. After he started working in a restaurant when he was 13, he stopped going to church and fell far from God.
Paul barely graduated High School in 1983 and entered the Army Reserve. During this time, he continued working in the restaurant business. As he grew up in the restaurant culture, he had developed many bad habits, such as drinking, smoking, and gambling. Paul found himself at the end of the rope in 1992 because of his gambling habit.
In the fall of 1992, Paul was rescued by God in a series of events that he could only describe as divine intervention. Paul recommitted his life to God and was baptized in 19th Avenue Chinese Baptist Church on Christmas Day in 1992.
During this time, Paul continued to battle with his sins while attending church part-time. Because of his work in the restaurant, he could only attend worship for 30 minutes and left for work, but he did not miss a single Sunday. As God heard Paul’s prayer, he blessed him with a different career path in the medical equipment business. From this blessing, Paul could have weekends off and started to serve in church more.
When Paul’s first son was born, he joined the team in the church to serve the children and youth of the church. During the youth conference he attended with the youth in 2015, God had called him into seminary to be equipped. He had graduated in December of 2021 with a degree of Master of Divinity. His heart is to serve God for the rest of his life.
Paul’s wife, Gloria, is a licensed clinical social worker working for the City and County of San Francisco as a supervisor. She has also been a leader in the church in different capacities. Paul and Gloria have two boys. The eldest son, Caleb, is attending Fuller Theological Seminary working on his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. The younger son, Ethan, just graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor’s Degree in Linguistics.
