What we offer...

Pastoral Care and Leadership

Chris Reny

For more than 35 years, Chris Reny has dedicated his life to ministry, beginning with three decades in youth ministry across Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches before finding a home in the non-denominational community. His journey eventually led him into congregational care, where he discovered his true “sweet spot”—being present with people, walking alongside them in both everyday life and life’s most pivotal moments.

​

That heart for presence and shepherding eventually led Chris into the role of Senior Pastor. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, God faithfully used him to build a landmark church into a thriving hub for outreach, worship, fellowship, and flourishing faith. Under his leadership, the church grew not only in size but also in depth of community and spiritual life.

​

Through all his roles, Chris is most at home when he is among the people. Whether guiding a couple through their vows, baptizing a new believer, offering a steady hand in times of challenge, or simply doing ministry in the aisles of the grocery store, he lives out his calling in both the big and small moments.

Chris' life reflects a simple truth: ministry happens wherever God places you, and every encounter is an opportunity to share Christ’s love.
