Meet Pastor Chris

Hi, I'm Chris - and I am so glad you're checking out Central Presbyterian Church. I grew up just up the road in Fullerton and even spent a couple of years in Irvine playing tennis at Irvine Valley College. My wife, Megan, is from Huntington Beach, so Orange County is home for both of us. We love this place - the people, the pace, the mix of stories - and we're passionate about seeing Jesus Christ made known right here in the heart of it.

Megan and I have four kids - Josiah (18), our twin daughters Tristyn and Taylor (16), and Luke (13). When I'm not preaching or meeting with people, you'll usually find me at a baseball or soccer field cheering one of them on. I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan who's recently adopted the Chicago Cubs (my son's team!).

At Central, our heart is simple: to be a church that keeps Christ at the center - reaching the lost, loving our neighbors, and raising up new congregations in years ahead.
