Chris is the Pastor of Perdido Bay Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida.
I surrendered to Jesus Christ and was made a born-again believer at the age of 28. The call to ministry came by a process of many blessings, both professionally and personally through which the Lord’s will became my will to fully surrender to the call. Therefore, at the age of 40 our family relocated from Oklahoma to Fort Worth, Texas so that I could attend Seminary. It was truly a blessing to be allowed full-time seminary study and receive a Masters of Divinity degree through Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
My wife, Deonna, and I were married on July 21, 1996 and together we have been blessed with five daughters to raise. With a family of seven our interests vary slightly, but we all enjoy playing games together in the evenings, watching movies, and spending time outdoors with a preference for the beach.
I am a passionate follower of the Triune God. His Holy Scriptures tell of His great love for me (us) and daily I am blessed to experience that love through His creation. Jesus is my Lord, He saved and continues to save me on a daily basis. To be His disciple and called to make other disciples in His name is perhaps the greatest honor of my life.
