Journey and Adventure are two words which incapsulate the life of Chris and MJ. Originally from Rochester, NY, Chris and MJ made an “Abraham” move in obedience to God and left all their family and friends in the northeast behind to start their journey in fulltime service to God. They moved to Bartlesville, OK, knowing no one and with no certainty of job or education. It was in those beginning moments they experienced God work in the area of hope and trust in their lives. Every moment since has been an adventure.
Chris currently serves as the Associate Minister over Young Adults, Small Groups, and Men’s Ministry for a newly merged church, Pathway Christian Church, in Bartlesville, OK. He graduated from Oklahoma Wesleyan University in Bartlesville, OK in 2005 with a B.S. in Pastoral Ministries.
MJ is a proud stay at home mom of 6 children ranging from toddler to young adult.
Together, MJ and Chris have served in ministry for over 20 years, serving as solo ministers and youth ministers of small country churches in Kansas, New York, and Oklahoma.
“Even the best of Christians are troubled by the question, ‘Why does an Almighty God send, or at least allow suffering?’ When you are nagged by thoughts like this, say to yourself, ‘I am still in elementary school. When I graduate from the University of Christian life, I will understand His ways better and doubts will cease.’”- Richard Wurmbrand (Imprisoned for total of 14 years in Romania)
