In 1998 Dr. Adrian Rogers asked Chris to serve on staff as Minister, Pastoral Care at the historic 29,000 member Bellevue Baptist Church in the Memphis, Tennessee area. On August 22, 1999 Dr. Rogers presided over Chris’ ordination council and that evening ordained Chris to the Gospel ministry. “When I reflect on these days in my life, I’m grateful to have served with and learned from Adrian Rogers. These were special days that shaped me and prepared me to minister to a lost and hurting world for many years to come.”
