Pastor Chris planted Live Love Church alongside Pastor Craig in 2026. He leads with a conviction that the Gospel is meant to be lived, not just heard. He believes leadership begins with genuinely seeing and caring for people. Whether he's teaching from the platform, sitting across the table from someone, or serving in his everyday job, his aim is the same: to help people encounter the love of Jesus and pass it on to other people.

Chris also published his first book, Pain & Hope, which reflects his belief that God meets us most powerfully in our hardest moments.

Outside of ministry, Chris is a devoted husband to Renee and father to three incredible kids (Aiden, Allie, and Adilynn).

He'd love to meet you and welcome you into the Live Love family.

Pastor Craig planted Live Love Church alongside Pastor Chris in 2026. With a passion for authentic relationships that peel back the hard layers of life, he wants to care for and love the people Christ has sent into his circle.  If it’s the possessions God has bestowed upon him or the times when people have circled around his kitchen island, he knows these are all opportunities to love and care for the flock.  He and his wife, Mel, love hospitality and want people to know they are cared for through the love of Christ.

He also leads a bi-vocational life as an auditor but has served in the ministry for 20 years.  From Youth Ministry to Small Groups Coordinator, his passion is discipleship and coming alongside to develop and train for deep spiritual formation.

Outside of ministry, Craig is a devoted husband to Melissa and father to five amazing kids (Anell, Norah, Cadence (Remy), Brycen and Lakin).  He is also a proud grandpa to baby Barett.

He'd love to meet you and welcome you into the Live Love family.
