Peggy Cross (the Reverend Margaret E. Cross) grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, graduated from San Francisco Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity, and was ordained in 1979.  She also earned a BA from Mills College in Chemistry/pre-med in 1975.

Peggy served churches in West Sacramento, Coalinga, and Burney, CA before coming to St. Stephens in 1987.  Throughout her ministry she has been engaged in resolving and managing church conflict, deepening spiritual journeys and transforming/redeveloping congregations.  One of her greatest joys is witnessing the Spirit come alive within another person and walking alongside as that person grows in their faith and witness.
