Meet Pastor Chris

Pastor Chris's role is to serve Christ by soul-therapy to ones led astray by harmful passions and false pictures of happiness.

Pastor Chris is new to Ruston, but he is a southern boy through and through. He loves everything outdoors and good BBQ. He is passionate about Jesus Christ. His desire is the mission of Covenant Reformed, "to know Christ and the Power of his resurrection" (Phil 3:10). All his service, preaching, and teaching seeks for others to know Christ more intimately and experience his powerful love. Chris graduated from Westminster Seminary California (M.Div. '11) and McMaster Divinity College (Ph.D. '19). See here for publications.
