The teaching fellows
Chris Harper (aka Harp)
Chris (aka Harp) loves his wife, four kids, books, basketball, movies, and music. King Jesus is his Savior. Andrew (Simon Peter's brother) is his hero. He believes Jordan is better than Lebron and nothing beats a good cheeseburger.
Harp’s extensive professional and academic background is a testament to his expertise. His journey has taken him from the hollers of Kentucky to the plains of Africa. He holds multiple degrees, having studied at the University of Louisville, Harvard, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He believes the dining table is a sacred space and hospitality is the new evangelism.
Married to his best friend, Harp and Ally have four kids and reside in the GREAT state of Texas.

He loves spending time with his family, the local church, and early morning workouts with friends. At the end of the day, he’s just an ordinary guy who loves God, his family, and helping others take their next step with Jesus.
