Chris Hutchinson

Our senior pastor came to us in 2004 after serving seven years as an associate pastor at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Statesboro, GA. Chris is a native of Charleston, SC and is a 1989 graduate of Duke University. Chris then served three years in the Army as a Medical Service Corps officer, including a combat tour during Operation Desert Storm. In 1995 he received his M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, MA in 1995. In addition to pastoring our flock, Chris is active in Blue Ridge Presbytery, particularly by serving on its Leadership Development Committee. He also serves on the steering committee for the start up of the Consortium for International Theological Education here in Blacksburg. Chris and his wife Kirstan have two wonderful, creative daughters. In his spare time, Chris enjoys soccer (mostly watching!), reading history, and rooting for Duke basketball, unless they are playing Virginia Tech.
