Chris Anderson served as a pastor for twenty-five years—first as the founding pastor of Tri-County Bible Church in Northeast Ohio and then as lead pastor of Killian Hill Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He now serves as Vice President of Global Opportunities for Biblical Ministries Worldwide—preaching and writing on the Great Commission, training churches to be effective senders, and challenging believers in churches, camps, conferences, and colleges to embrace the cause of worldwide evangelism.

He is the President of Church Works Media and is a contributing author and editor for CWM’s popular Gospel Meditations devotional series. He is perhaps most recognized as a hymn-writer, composing lyrics for “His Robes for Mine,” “I Run to Christ,” “My Jesus, Fair,” and over fifty others. He recently earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from The Master’s Seminary. Chris and his wife Lori have four beautiful and godly daughters and an amazing son-in-law.
