Pastor Chris first came to Calvary Chapel of Cypress in late 1985.  To that point in his life, he would describe himself as a religious person but the idea of having a relationship with God was a foreign concept.  It didn't take long sitting under Pastor Jack Stevens and the through the Bible study philosophy of Calvary Chapel, that he found a relationship with God the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, was not only possible but it was essential.  It is from that new found approach to studying the Scripture that, for the first time, he saw that every book of the Bible, though written by numerous writers, had one author only, and that was God Himself.

Chris was Senior Pastor at Calvary Old Path for 10 years. He moved to Texas recently and continues to teach through the Old and New Testament online at Old Path Theology.
