Mission Central

Chris, Mission Central Founder and Team Leader, brings a wealth of experience to the table. He received his education from Wheaton College (B.A. Education, English) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A. Theological Studies), and currently attends City of Light Anglican Church in Aurora, Illinois. Chris has worked in various fields, including as a church administrator, college minister, and mortgage wonk, and now works at Northern Illinois Food Bank. He is also an author, with his book How to Be a Bad Christian sharing a bit of his story. When he’s not working, Chris enjoys reading time-travel novels or cooking dinner with his wife Katie, a hospice nurse practitioner. As someone who understands the struggle of integrating faith into work, Chris founded Mission Central to help Christians develop spiritual practices that will equip them to live on mission in their everyday lives. As a coach and mentor, he comes alongside apprentices of Jesus to help them bridge the gap between Sunday morning and Monday morning.
