Pastor 

Who Am I?  I am a down to earth, simple guy who loves people and serving the Lord.  Growing up in an urban area of Baltimore, Maryland, I know the value of hard work.  Before I was led into working for the church, I worked as a janitor and a furniture upholsterer.  I later opened my own business, but only to finance my way through college.  I have a beautilful wife and three beautiful daughters.  To me, church is a place for people to come together and support one another as they worship and learn about God. The Church needs to be real, both in worship and how people deal with one another.  God is not complicated, but formal religions have made him out to be so complex.  Think about it!  He went to poor fishermen and farmers.  He wrote the Bible using only 400 different words and most of them very simple.  Christ used what he had and he valued the expertise of the common person.  I value you and I want to make a commitment to you!  That is why I chose the name Promise, it speaks of both commitment and hope.  Therefore, I promise to work hard, serve you well and bring Christ to you in a way that will change your life forever.

In his service,
Pastor Chris Deknatel
