"Devoted to prayer, the Word, and gathering around the table."
Founders & Senior Leaders, Abide Global Ministries
We believe the deepest spiritual growth happens around shared tables and authentic relationships. Since 2022, we have led Abide Fellowship—a non-denominational house church modeled after the rhythms of Acts 2:42. Our gatherings center on devoted prayer, grounded biblical teaching, intentional fellowship, and breaking bread together.
With more than twenty years each in ministry across worship, pastoral care, and discipleship, our path has been shaped by seasons of faithful service—including years at Hope Church, which later became AbideOKC, where Chris was ordained in 2018. Out of that foundation, God planted the vision for Abide Global Ministries to cultivate relational, missional communities.
Married for 20 years, our greatest everyday joy is raising our four children, alongside two curious cats and one energetic dog. When the table is cleared and ministry tasks are set aside, you’ll find Chris gaming with the kids or plotting the next outdoor excursion, Christy diving into art projects or laughing with close friends, and both of us winding down the day with a favorite movie.
