Our Team

At KoinoniaOKC we practice a shared pastoral leadership model. This means that not one pastor carries the burden alone but rather we share responsibilities and balanced gifting through APEST. In addition to this co-pastoral model it is important to note that our pastoral staff is bi-vocational. Meaning… they are employed outside of the church in the local community. They use their gifts & live into their pastoral calling. On any given Sunday our teaching can be lead by one of our pastoral leaders or a church member. As a church family, we are in this together and to our best to not prioritize one gifting of the Spirit over another.

Chris has been a pastor in the Nazarene tradition for over a decade. He has served in some of the largest churches around the world, but when God truly grabs hold of your heart, it’s hard to ignore. A few years ago, Chris resigned from a prestigious position at a local church to follow the call God placed on his heart—to pastor Koinonia OKC and help launch new microchurch faith communities throughout the Oklahoma City area. Learn more about that work here: https://www.vineandbranch.network.

Chris also serves as the COO of the Halo Project in Oklahoma City.
