For the past 10 years, Chris has served as a missionary in the Netherlands for Assemblies of God World Missions, helping to bring the Gospel to a very secular culture. Chris was a leader in setting up and running youth centers and also served as an assistant pastor. In 2017, he and his wife of 12 years, Rebecca, moved to a small town in the rural Netherlands to plant a brand new church. In the last three years, Chris, as lead pastor, grew the membership from just 10 people to 80 regular worshipers, including many families with children. With the church firmly established, Chris was ready to transfer the leadership to a local Dutch pastor. He describes his worship style as “eclectic,” blending traditional with contemporary elements. He is passionate about music and plays acoustic guitar.
Chris met his wife, Rebecca, at the Northpoint Bible College where they both earned degrees in Biblical Studies with minors in Pastoral Ministries. They have three sons: Charlie, Oliver and Henri. Chris describes Rebecca as one of the most compassionate people he has known--a sentiment echoed by several of the references in the Netherlands who also highlighted Rebecca as a gifted missionary. She is a certified CrossFit trainer and running coach and her part-time work at a local gym has built many bridges to conversations about faith and the gospel.
