Kris joined the staff here at First Assembly as the Worship Director in 2023. Though this is his first time in full time ministry, he has been leading worship for over 25 years and nothing excites him more than seeing people come together and lifting high the name of Jesus!  He has been married to his wife Julia for 20 years and they have 3 awesome daughters, Sienna, Isabelle and Emma.  He loves to spend time with his family, especially camping, hiking and hanging out at the lake.  If he can’t be in the hills he loves playing board games or watching anything Star Wars.
