Short Bio: Howdy! My name is Chris Witt and I am the leader of the High School group called “Shine” here at Immanuel. We meet during first service on Sundays and we talk about everything. Seriously. This group is designed to be a bridge for your faith from Confirmation to adulthood. So whatever is on your mind is something we can, and probably will, address.
I have been a member of Immanuel for almost 14 years and the leader of this group since 2018. I have never felt more honored and humbled than when I was asked to take this ministry on. Since I became the leader of Shine, I have had the privilege of not only seeing faiths grow during our Sunday time together, but also during events such as the Mission Trip to Kansas City we went on during the summer of 2019.
When not at church, I love being around people. You will probably find me at a festival, concert or just anywhere people are. I am a fan of all types of music, movies and pop culture in general. If you want someone to talk sports with, I am your guy for that as well. As long as you aren’t a Packers or duke fan. (Just kidding!)
