He helped pioneer the family of neighborhood churches by planting Lakewood Vineyard in 2015. Christian has previously served as youth pastor for five years at his father’s church, and also served for a number of years as a missionary in the Philippines.
Anywhere Christian goes, he is the life of the party! He excels at making connections with others and creating a fun and dynamic atmosphere where authentic community happens. Having a variety of ministry experience, Christian brings a unique perspective to our team.
