Chris has a heart for outreach as that is how God guided him and his family to Cedarwood. Chris and his family started coming to Cedarwood because of a piece of cardstock. An invitation to Trunk or Treat at Cedarwood. His family came to the event and had a great time. They came to church that Sunday, and God placed David Hine in his path to show his family where to bring the children with kindness, love and grace. After meeting Andrea Confer and her husband Ron they left their children comfortably with them. God had placed a hymn on the Worship Leader Christine’s mind to play that exact day. That hymn was one of Chris's wife’s favorite songs. After that Chris and his family have been growing in their relationship with Jesus.
