Christopher was born in the Netherlands but grew up in Northern Virginia for almost all of his life and returned to the area after graduating from the University of Virginia. He first became a believer through the faithful witness of his parents and saw great growth in his own faith and ecclesiology through mentorship and service in his church during his college years in Charlottesville. He was attracted to Trinity when he returned to the area by the theologically deep and faithful preaching, congregational worship, and intentional Christ-centered community at the church.  He has loved his time and service at Trinity and looks forward to the continued work Christ is doing amongst her members.
