Chris has a strong desire to see the church become more involved with its local community, believing that the gospel demands that we care for the needs of others. He also enjoys youth ministry because he believes that the basic Biblical foundations of a Christ follower are laid at a young age. Chris and his wife Ashley both attended Lee University in Cleveland TN, where he received a BS degree in religion. Both he and his wife are originally from Florida, and have two boys Jackson who is 2 years old and Colt who is 3 months old.
