Deacon Akbar Vanterpool became a member of Long Island Baptist Church, precursor to Crossbridge Church, in 2003, and has been a Deacon since 2013.
He was raised in Queens, NY, by parents who instilled in him a strong value system which has allowed him to navigate the tumultuous terrain of this world and his dependence on his faith in Christ.
Akbar works for Standard & Poor’s Corporate Finance division as Global Head of Contingent Labor.
He has been married to his wife, Akua, since September 2005, and they have 4 wonderful children: Olivia, Gabrielle, Sophia, and Isaiah who have been a pleasure to grow both in stature and faith.
