Campus Pastor

Chris followed the Lord's calling into vocational ministry in 2001 during his junior year at Texas Tech University. In 2002, he began attending The Bethlehem Institute, a seminary program at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN. After graduating in 2004, Chris completed his Master's of Divinity degree at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. Following a couple of trips to Florida to visit Gregg and former Associate Pastor Matthew Molesky, Chris came on board as an Associate Pastor at Celebration Community Church in the summer of 2006. Currently, his role is comprised of discipleship, teaching, care, leadership development, and ministry planning and managing. His desire is to encourage others to become passionate about God's supremacy through Jesus Christ and to teach God's people how to grow in their understanding and communication of God's Word.

Chris is an outdoor guy. He enjoys camping, fishing, hunting, skiing, and the occasional round of golf. A perfect day off would consist of a log cabin, mountains (not in Florida!), cool breeze, hammock, and a good book on theology. And though he can only play a few chords on the guitar, Chris enjoys listening to and attempting to play music.
