Heidi GossenFounder & President
|
The early stirrings of Crossfire Ranch began in Heidi’s heart around 2006, and since then, she has been journeying this path in many forms. The road has been stretching, beautiful, and filled with transformation—but above all, it has been one of the greatest faith builders in her life, second only to her role as a wife and mom. Heidi firmly believes that Crossfire exists and continues only by the grace, goodness, and wildness of God.
Today, she serves as the co-pilot of Crossfire Ranch, where she finds deep joy in building relationships with the kids, families, and supporters connected to the ministry. One of her greatest delights is watching young people “unfold” as they experience the goodness of connection—with horses, mentors, and ultimately, the love of God. Heidi’s background is rooted in a lifelong fascination with people—their stories, their growth, and what helps them flourish. She holds degrees in psychology and sociology and has earned certifications in life and leadership coaching, lay counseling, and mental health coaching. Her professional journey includes work in social services and family coaching, but her most cherished role has been raising her own family. She and her husband are the proud parents of three adult children, two sons-in-law, and grandparents to two sweet little boys. A farm girl at heart and an adventurer by nature, Heidi’s life and calling are firmly grounded in the freedom and foundation found in Christ. |
Paige PollardVice President

Paige has been connected to Crossfire Ranch since its beginning, serving in various roles over the years and continuing to be a steady presence in the ministry’s story. Her passion for animals and heart for people have made her a natural fit within the Crossfire community.
She currently works as a receptionist and equine assistant at a veterinary clinic, where she’s been for the past six years. Her professional background has long centered around animals—especially horses and dogs—bringing both skill and compassion to every space she serves. In 2017, she married her husband, Terrell, after a whirlwind three-month courtship. Together, they share life with their two beloved dogs, one horse, and more houseplants than they care to count. In her spare time, she enjoys taking on home improvement projects in their old farmhouse, exploring hiking trails with her faithful pups, discovering new taco spots, planning future adventures, and soaking in the peace of quiet moments. |
