Associated Ministries, Inc. Pastor Chris

baptized him in the Holy Spirit igniting his heart for God and His Kingdom. Chris met his wife Terri at a prayer meeting at the age of 15. At that time Chris led Terri to the Lord and prayed with her to receive the Baptism in the Holys Spirit. Both are natives of Atlanta, GA. They married at age 19, attended Liberty Bible College together and have had 33 wonderful years together.

After attending Liberty Bible College in Pensacola, Florida, he and Terri returned to Atlanta in 1976, and at age 21 he accepted the call to pastor. He served in ministry until 1982 when the Lord’s direction prompted him to open his own business. Chris owned his business until 1989 when the Lord called him to become Senior Pastor at Christ Fellowship of Stone Mountain, GA. Chris is an anointed teacher, pastor, songwriter, worshipper, counselor and moves in prophetic and apostolic roles. His ministry travels have carried him to Russia, Siberia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala and Egypt preaching and teaching the Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. His lovely wife Terri often accompanied him on his journeys.

Chris’ wife Terri serves as the office manager (secretary, bookkeeper, event planner, assistant, associate and whatever else is needed!)at CFSM. Their oldest daughter Elisa is married to Nick Osberg and along with their daughter Sophia are expecting their second child in October. They live in Biloxi, MS where Nick works for an auto dealership and Elisa is a fulltime mom. Judith, Chris and Terri's second daughter, married Chris Ahler in October 2005 and they live in Nashville, TN. Judith is a property manager of a downtown high-rise apartment building and Chris works with UBS in corporate investing as well as pursuing his masters in International Business. Both couples are active members in their local church and are strong Christians pursuing the Lord Jesus Christ.

Chris and Terri believe every Christian needs to be a part of a local fellowship, and every local fellowship needs to be a part of an apostolic stream of ministry (ours is CFN - specifically related to AMI with Jack Hollis as our spiritual Papa, overseeing apostle, and pastor to Chris and Terri) and finally every local church needs to be linked to the church in their city as much as is possible.

Their focus and goal in ministry is found in Acts 28:31, "Preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding us."
