Pastor Chris did not grow up knowing much about Christianity. One of the first church services that he ever attended was at Community Baptist Church as an 18-year-old teenager after a friend invited him. Soon after, Chris accepted Jesus as his Savior and his life was radically changed. When he was 20, God called him to be a pastor. After 3 years of Bible College training, Chris, along with his new wife Erika, returned to CBC to work with teens. 5 years later Chris was sent out by Community Baptist to start a church in Uruguay, South America. In their 10 years in Uruguay, Chris and Erika saw the founding of the Iglesia Bautista de la Comunidad de Rocha. God has now led Chris back to Community Baptist where he serves as one of the Pastors. During his free time Chris is kept busy by his five boys, watching or playing any sport he can and reading lots of history books.
