Chris's Bio:

I began attending church somewhere around nine months before I was born and was there every time the doors were open. Although I was a pretty good kid, I realized at the ripe old age of six that God was bigger than me and more perfect than me, and that I did not measure up.

During Vacation Bible School as a six-year-old child I understood that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for my sin and offered me eternal life by faith. I entered college planning to get a degree in Music Education and pursue a career on Broadway.

While at Oklahoma State University, some faithful men took me under their wing and helped me understand that the Christian life could be about more than just getting out of hell. I began to study the Bible for the first time and landed on staff at a church in Stillwater, Oklahoma leading worship. After less than a week in ministry, I knew this was something I had to do for the rest of my life.
