Over the last 10 years, Chris has served at West Rome by teaching classes on the End Times and Bible prophecy, special studies on the 5 Love Languages, and currently leads a Life Group with his wife Kim on Sunday nights.  Chris also serves as an usher and member of the West Rome security team.  


Note from Chris:

I have been nominated a few times to be an elder, but I never had a peace about serving until now.  I feel God has moved me in this direction for such a time as this.  Many feel that the times we are in can be challenging and possibly a bit scary.  I feel my role is to support Pastor Jarrod so he can bring the word to its fullest.  Our Pastor needs to know he has support and freedom, along with accountability, to bring the Father’s message to our church. 


I’m excited to see where God has the church right now. I’m excited because I know the Father is moving and our hearts have been, and still are, being stirred for kingdom work.
