Dave Anderson is the lead pastor of Crosspoint Community Church in Decatur, Alabama. He is better-known on twitter as @moviepastor. I first found Dave through a search on twitter of church planters almost a year ago. I knew of him through his blog beforehand. The thing that I appreciated immediately about his tweets was that he was sharp with his humor and approached ministry and being a pastor in a very different way. Also, until recently, Dave Anderson was a bi-vocational pastor which is another thing that we had in common.
As things have been blowing up (in a good way!) at Crosspoint lately, his tweets have taken on more of a leadership perspective, which has been great. I’ve also been blessed to have the chance to speak to him a couple of times by phone when we were doing preview services for Revolution Church Sacramento back in June. Through all he was doing he still took time to pick up the phone and call me and pray for our new work here in Sacramento. It was very humbling that he would share time with me knowing that people are now standing in line to pay him for his church plant coaching services.
Dave is an amazing guy, has a great perspective on life and ministry, sees the church as something of beauty and compassion, and injects some witty humor into many things. I learn a lot from Dave and enjoy many laughs from his tweets. He is a proponent of people not sucking when they twitter and a great example of how to get people to follow because of their interest in what one says through twitter. Be warned in advance though: he’s passionate about his college football!
Here’s a few of the things @moviepastor has tweeted recently:
- Gods workin. Devils kickin. We win. nuff said!
- no, really Thursday! I love you because of your personality. not because you have a nice college football game!

- I didnt tweet or facebook for 2 days -- making up lost time. The internet may lag a bit.
- watching Pale Rider. only Clint Eastwood can wear a scarf and maintain his manliness! I want a hat like that though.
- having this thought -- what do i need to do to have a profound impact on this world? am I willing to do it?
Pastor Dave, thanks for your awesome support and encouragement during preview services for our church plant. It’s an honor to know you and take a peek into your life and experiences through twitter. May we have the chance to meet one day over some BBQ and a swim in your pool in Decatur. Thanks for not sucking on twitter!
