Crossroads

university ministry of the moody church

Eric Naus is the Pastor for University Students at theMoody Church. Pastor Naus is originally from sunny Arizona where he grew up in a family of six. He first moved to the Chicago area to attend Wheaton College, where he graduated in 2002. After marrying his wife Abby, Eric sensed Gods call into the pastorate. While attending seminary at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Eric served as the staff intern over the University Ministry of the Moody Church. Upon graduating from seminary in August, 2008, Eric came on board as the Pastor for University Students at the church.

Eric and Abby have three young children, live on the North Side of the city, and consider Chicago their long term home. Eric especially enjoys reading theology, spending the day outdoors, gulping down cookie dough ice cream in front of a good movie, spending time with his family, and of course, hanging out with college students and pointing them to Christ!

our leadership

Crossroads is made up of undergraduate and graduate school students from campuses throughout the Chicago area. Our ministry provides opportunities for students to become a vital part of The Moody Church community. We challenge and equip students through the study of Gods Word, and we connect them with one another for worship, service, and encouragement towards Christian growth. Our goal is to see students empowered and passionate about representing Christ on their various campuses in and around the city.
