Pastor Chris Greenhagen is originally from St. Louis. He and His Family were called to FBC Boonville in March of 2020.

Chris graduated from Missouri Baptist College (now University), St. Louis in 1998. He earned his Masters of Arts in Christian Education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth and his Masters of Theology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. Pastor Chris has been in Full Time Ministry for over 24 years. 

Chris is happiest when he’s with his family making memories together. He loves hunting, baseball and football, as well as the St. Louis Cardinals and Green Bay Packers!

Pastor Chris and his lovely wife, Jana, have three children, Lydia (22), Reece (19), and Bennett (17).

"I love to serve the Lord, to live according to His purpose for my life. To serve His church, the body of believers, and to work towards the goal of advancing the Kingdom with the Gospel message. We are called to love Christ with all that we are, and to love our neighbor." In order to do that, He must increase, and we must decrease. (John 3:30)

First and foremost, I am a sinner saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I have a loving wife, Alicia, to whom I have been married for over twenty-seven years. She is my helpmate in life and ministry. We have two wonderful children, Zebadiah (Zeb) and Abigail (Abi).
 
God called me from Washington State to Missouri to become the Pastor of Music and Youth here at FBC Boonville in December of 2016. In 2022, God called me to my current role as Associate Pastor of Music. Words cannot express how blessed my family has been to serve Christ as part of this church body. Prior to becoming a pastor, I had volunteered extensively in the youth, musical worship, and acting ministries for over seventeen years at two different churches. During that time, I also had the privilege to serve over six years as a singer/songwriter with the Christian rock band Racing 24/7 (previously Broken) to glorify God by reaching out beyond the walls of the church building to share God's grace through music. With Racing 24/7, I played rhythm guitar, sang background vocals, served as the spiritual leader, and wrote, co-arranged, and co-produced several original songs. Our band recorded and released two CDs, entitled “Psalm 51:17” and “Trust and Believe,” did three short tours along the west coast, and locally shared the stage to open for 33 Miles, Building 429, Todd Agnew, Big Daddy Weave, Aaron Shust, Rush of Fools, and others.
 
To support my family prior to serving in full-time ministry, I was a professional engineer in Washington State for over twenty years. In my last job as an engineer, I was an engineering supervisor for Bechtel National, Inc. designing a waste treatment plant to process and immobilize approximately fifty-five million gallons of radioactive liquid waste in glass. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University and hold a Masters in Ministry with a Worship Cognate.
 
In addition to serving the Lord, I enjoy spending time with my family and life group, leading musical worship, spending time with youth, writing and recording Christian music, and playing sports, such as basketball, football, volleyball, and golf. All my accomplishments have only been possible with God. “To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Phil 4:20).
