Andrea Tabler, Women’s Ministry Coordinator 
A native of Monroe, LA, Andrea graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1984 with a degree in — and desire to pursue — public relations. She subsequently headed to southern California where she would meet her future husband and love of her life, Tom, who (thankfully!) introduced her Christ. After their first child was born, Andrea began a home-based advertising and P.R. business that relocated to various cities as the family moved several times with Tom’s career, finally settling in San Antonio in 2001. Tom and Andrea have two teenage boys, Patrick and Trevor, who attend a local Christian school where Andrea is also the Development Director. The family became members of CrossBridge just after it started, and God soon began to create a passion in Andrea’s heart to minister to women, to encourage them to connect and grow so that they might know Christ more and, as a result, see their families grow closer to Jesus. She is excited to see this growth in the women of CrossBridge and looks forward to what God has planned for this ministry this year.

Blain Johnson, Worship Leader 
Blain hails originally from the very cold state of Minnesota. He decided at about 10 years old that the cold was not for him so he loaded up his family and moved them to the much warmer climate of Texas. Decades have gone by and he now considers himself a Texan at heart. Blain started his vocal training at the very ripe age of 3 honing his skills on classic country songs (only the wholesome ones). In 1989 God got a hold of Blain's heart and he turned his talents to worship in the music ministry. He has been a part of or lead worship for the last 16 years. God has blessed him as well with a beautiful wife of 20 years and 4 awesome sons.
