Young's Chapel
At Young’s Chapel Baptist Church, we believe ministry is about people.
Our team is committed to helping others know Jesus, grow in their faith, and find meaningful community. We’d love the opportunity to meet you and help you get connected.

Before coming to Young’s Chapel, he served as a youth pastor in Galax, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Knoxville, Tennessee.

Chris and his wife, Libby, have been married since 2011 and have four daughters: Teaghyn, Anistyn, Hollyn, and Strattyn. Together, they enjoy spending time as a family, exploring the outdoors, and being part of the community they call home.
“My desire is that every person who walks through our doors experiences the love of Christ and finds a place to belong, grow, and serve.”
