Elders, Staff, Team Leaders

Chris White

Pastor

Chris has served at Gateway since 2009. He is married to Jessika, and together they raise two wonderful kids, Elizabeth and Sam. Chris has degrees from Malone University and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Chris is an enormous klutz, which is why he likes to ski, as it is really just prolonged falling.
