Pastor Chris Graham, M.A.
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." - 2 Corinthians 4:7
Pastor Chris Graham is the lead Pastor of Grace Baptist Tabernacle. After earning his Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2006, he ministered as a Professional Counselor at Grace Baptist Tabernacle in Charleston, SC. He married his wife, Charissa, in 2007 and they have three beautiful children. In 2010, the Lord called him to Pastoral Ministry, stirring him to leave Charleston and preach the Word in a new place. As an added blessing, the Pastor he was serving under in Charleston expressed interest in being a part of the new ministry. After a few months of exploring different locations, God settled him here in Winston-Salem, NC. Along with a few other families, Pastor Chris and his family moved to Winston-Salem in 2011 and re-planted Grace Baptist Tabernacle. Along with teaching and preaching each Sunday morning, he is also involved in the worship ministry and youth ministry. He has a fervent passion for studying the scriptures, and leading the church toward a constantly deeper understanding of the character of God. Above all, his heart is to share the precious Gospel of Jesus Christ and to urge all who will listen to repent and believe the Gospel.

"And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." - Luke 24:44-47
