Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, Chris graduated with a degree in Religion and Philosophy from Wofford College. Heavily influenced by his experiences as a Bonner Scholar and Co-Moderator of UKIRK (then, known as the Presbyterian Student Association), he then went on to Princeton Theological Seminary. It was there that he met his wife, Rev. Noha Khoury-Bailey.
Chris began as Campus Minister for Marshall UKirk in April 2017, having previously served a church in Middletown, Ohio. He and his wife came to the Huntington area with their dog, Lucy, eager to serve in this community. Chris, Noha, and Lucy welcomed their son Michael into the world in August 2020!
