Pastor Chris Durkin loves Jesus, the local church and is passionate about making a difference in the community. He has over ten years of full time pastoral experience and two ministry degrees: a BA in Youth Ministry from Eastern University and a Master of Divinity degree from Denver Seminary.

He is the proud father of two beautiful kids, Ethan Elliott and Abigail Aspen Durkin, and he is married to his best friend Melissa.

An ardent Yankees fan and a sucker for good pizza, Pastor Chris and his family are excited to be back in New Jersey, especially in the great town of Colts Neck. Pastor Chris is also involved in the Colts Neck Business Association.

The foundational biblical text for Pastor Chris' ministry is taken from 1 Thessalonians 2:8, which reads: We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.
