Chris Emmons

Chris Emmons loves seeing people connect, grow, and thrive in their faith journeys. As the Ross Campus Pastor, he leads with heart, humility, and a deep appreciation for the path God used to bring him into ministry.
• Family: Chris has been married to Pam for 13 years. They have two boys: Sam (11) and Isaac (8).
• Fun Fact: Though he grew up in Lexington, KY (home of UK basketball), he does not cheer for the Wildcats. Rumor has it there's a legendary school photo where he’s decked out in UK sweats… but he denies all knowledge.
• Hobbies: Chris is an avid Reds fan, a baseball card collector, and enjoys camping and golfing with his family.
• Favorite White Oak Memory: In 2021, as the Ross Campus prepared to open, they weren’t allowed into the building and had to host a parking lot service. That day turned unforgettable as they baptized two young men—a reminder that God was always in control, even when plans changed.
• Favorite Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 – a verse that guided him through nearly 20 years in non-ministry work, trusting God to reveal the right path.
Chris spent six years seeking God’s will, and today he’s living out his calling and passion in a place he proudly calls home.
