Pastor Chris Willis
About me:
I was born in Oklahoma City on October 4, 1972. I married my amazing wife, Jeannette, in 1998. We have been blessed with three beautiful gifts from God, Shalyn, Ashlyn and Russell. They keep us very busy and are lots of fun!

Background:
I lived in Oklahoma until I was 19 years old. I attended the College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri, where I studied Graphic Arts. Near the end of my senior year in college, God redirected my life to follow His call to the ministry. Pursuing that call, I attended and graduated from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, where I also met Jeannette, who graduated from there and also studied pre-med at Evangel College.
We began our full time appointment in Braintree, Massachusetts where we served as Associate Pastors for 6 years. My responsibilities included youth and I quickly found that teenagers were my passion.
I have been on staff at Harvest Time since October, 2004 and we love this church with all our hearts!
Pets:
We have two fish, Beta and Angel.
Likes and Dislikes:
In case you are wondering, I hate seafood; I love Mexican - but no raw onions. I also love Italian and Thai food. I have a regular craving for hot dogs and my favorite candy is peanut M&M's. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would be Hebrew National hot dogs with tons of sauerkraut, although a good steak runs a close second.
After that I would have to say it is monster trucks, motor cross and professional bull riding. Listen, you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.
What gets me excited:
Once of the greatest joys and passions in my life, is to see a student who actually "gets it." Nothing gets me more pumped than to see a young man or woman go "ALL IN" for Jesus. This is the passion of my life.
