Chris is a gift to the Canadian church and we can’t wait to work with him again!”
Tammy Giffen
Lead Pastor
“Chris cares. I’ve known Chris over 15 years, and that is what comes to mind when I think about him. He cares about people and their stories. He cares about leaders and their development. He cares about organizations and their advancement. You can trust him to care about you, your context, and your future.”
Casey Ross
Ministry Development Pastor
“A committed, insightful, results oriented, transformational leader are the words I’d use to describe Chris. I had the great privilege of seeing the impact up close of Chris’ influence on the organization we both worked for. On a personal note I deeply appreciated Chris’ tenacity and can-do attitude as we worked to bring about positive cultural change in a fast paced church environment. Do yourself a favour and take advantage of Chris’ wealth of knowledge and experiences in helping your organization grow.”
Dave Adams
Senior Pastor
“Chris is often one of my first calls when I’m looking for counsel on leadership, organizational strategy, and career decisions. Beyond being a great friend, his personal life experience has provided him the ability to guide our discussions with wise and balanced questions that help me walk boldly towards healthy personal and organizational decisions.”
Matt Kerr
Pastor of Worship & Communications
“Having Chris coach me through enneagram was a really valuable and helpful experience. I’ve done many other personality, gifts, and strengths tests in the past, but Chris not only had a deep understanding of the tools and report, but asked fantastic questions that helped me reflect and find really good ways I can lead and serve in my current context. I’m excited to continue to use Chris as a coach and resource to help me grow in self-awareness and better love those around me.”
Dave Siverns
Executive Pastor
“Chris offers a strategic mind, an enthusiastic listening ear, a generous spirit, and a pastor’s heart. Because of his different experiences and connections, he understands the unique challenges faced by ministry leaders and the Canadian church as a whole, but he also sees and celebrates the kingdom opportunities. I value his perspective and guidance to help me continue developing as a leader as I pursue my calling.”
