Denis Cronkright, our Pastor, began his ministry at College Park in October 2006. He was born and raised in West Michigan in the Grand Rapids area in the little town of Cedar Springs. After high school he attended Grand Rapids, Junior College. Then he became a partner in the family hardware business. He worked there for 7 years, and during his time in business attended and graduated from the Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music (GRSBM), a Bible Institute that trained pastors, missionaries and Christian workers. It later merged with Grand Rapids Baptist College and is now Cornerstone University, still located in Grand Rapids.

After graduation pastor Denis began his first full time pastoral ministry in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He later ministered at Gilead Baptist Church in Allen Park Michigan, Hilltop Baptist in Kingman and in late 2006 accepted the call to pastor College Park church.
