Mission Central

Chris brings contemplative and missional formation together in his approach to teaching. He is a spiritual director, trained and certified through Christos Center for Spiritual Formation. He received his education from Wheaton College (B.A. Education, English) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A. Theological Studies), and is a member at 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. When he’s not working, Chris enjoys reading time travel novels or cooking dinner for 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 spiritual director, he comes alongside apprentices of Jesus to help them bridge the gap between Sunday morning and Monday morning in their life with God.
