Pastor Chris joined the Hillcrest family in May of 2019 as the Minister of Youth and Families. He has been in teen ministries for nearly twenty years working in camps, curriculum writing, training, and conference speaking. He trusted Christ as his savior at a young age, and felt the Lord’s calling into full time ministry one week at Word of Life Island teen camp in the summer of 1999. During Bible college he felt the Lords calling toward teen and family oriented ministries. He married his wife Heather in 2012 and together they have five children, triplet boys and twin girls. They know what a busy schedule looks like.
