Chris was raised in Tucson where he has served in a multitude of church ministries and positions since coming to the Lord in 2008. In 2011 the Spirit of adoption moved on Chris’ heart when he married his bride Maria Mendoza, inherited four teenagers and took his new family’s name. In 2016 he was ordained a Senior Chaplain by the International Fellowship of Chaplains for his work in the community including prison ministry. Chris currently serves in leadership at The Gospel Rescue Mission as their Community Partnership Liaison where he connects community ministries and services to the one-stop-shop for homelessness at the Center of Opportunity. He and Maria love to spend time with their kid’s families which now include five grandchildren.
His defining worship lyrics are encapsulated in the lines:
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing you praise
