Chris grew up attending Briarwood Christian School and went on to Samford University, where he earned a Master of Divinity, a Master of Biblical Counseling, and a Master of Biblical Studies. He began working at Briarwood in 1980 as Junior High Staff, then worked in Pastoral Care, and now serves in the Mercy Ministry.
