He is a transplant to Minneapolis from Los Angeles, along with his wife, Michelle, and their five children. He grew up in a non-Christian home, but at the age of 26 years God granted him repentance of sin and faith in Christ, causing him to be born again. As God's Spirit worked in Chris' new heart, he developed a deep love for Christ's people and ministry. Knowing that he needed theological and ministry training, he attended The Master's University and Seminary, earning the Bachelor of Arts (Biblical Exposition) and Master of Divinity degrees. For the next several years he served as associate pastor at a Southern California church until receiving the call to come to Anchor Bible Church. Chris is driven by the words of the Apostle Paul, who did not consider his life as his own, but desired that he would be faithful to perform the ministry which Christ had for him, to solemnly testify of the gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20:24). He considers it a great joy and privilege to serve the saints in this congregation. May all praise and glory be to God our Savior, who alone is worthy. | more | less
