BIO:

Growing up as a pastor’s kid near Boston , Massachusetts, Chris first learned to play guitar by helping with Sunday worship services. Always encouraged to pursue music, he found opportunities to lead worship during the chapel services at Gordon College where he studied the Bible, youth ministries and Jazz guitar. Working as an accompanist for Gospel choirs and local musicians, Chris found himself musically by writing, playing , and singing with 3:sixteen a ministry based band that performed original songs in settings as diverse as secular clubs to junior high youth groups. Moving to Florida in 1998 to work as a youth minister at a thriving church has given Chris a keen awareness of the needs of today’s young people, and the power of the church as an instrument of God’s grace.
