Church Leadership

Chris Allen

Lead Pastor

6416281885

Pastor Chris feels so blessed to be a part of Grace Fellowship's mission to "reach up, reach out and grow together". Chris was the lead pastor of churches in Ontario and Washington. In his "former life" he was a youth pastor and served on YoungLife staff. He received a Master of Divinity from Calvin Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts in General Ministry from Lincoln Christian University. Chris' favorite theologian is NT Wright and his favorite theological word is "inaugurated eschatology" (look it up). His biggest passions in ministry are preaching, pastoral care and discipleship.

Chris feels "at home" when he is spending time with his wonderful wife, Anna and their three boys (Keane, Finley and Aston). He also loves game nights with friends, training for 5K's, listening to progressive blue grass and jazz, and coaching and watching soccer (Go Liverpool FC!). Chris looks forward to meeting you.
