I am so very pleased that my journey with Christ is bringing me to your doorsteps. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am originally from a little town in Oklahoma. My mom and sister still live in Tulsa. I met my wife Linda at the University of Pittsburgh where we were both studying the theatre. We came to Massachusetts to continue my education at Tufts and then life took a funny turn, and I began to work with abused and neglected children; I spent a dozen years with those kids and I continue to work as a crisis clinician. Linda took a job teaching art and communication in the Groton-Dunstable school district. It is no accident that my name is Christopher, my mom always knew that my heart was for the ministry, but I didn't listen to the still small voice of God for many years. Linda and I began to attend a little church in Townsend, and it was there that I was nurtured into the ministry. I have been pastoring there now for six years and took a Master of Divinity at Asbury Seminary. Linda and I are blessed with two children and two grandchildren. My son Dylan is a firefighter, and his wife Maggie is an editor and now becoming a landscape designer. Their children, five-year-old Evie, and three-year-old Calvin are teaching us every day. My daughter Leighton and her partner Eric reside in Worcester. Leighton is finishing her master's in social work and Eric is a journalist. Scripture tells us from the beginning to the end that human beings are meant to be in a loving community with one another. I have been blessed with loving and supporting families of many varieties in my life. I pray that we may grow together in faith and in love so that we may be a blessing to all that touch our lives
