DR. CHRIS WINFORD

Dr. Chris Winford has been the Senior Pastor at First Baptist Brunswick since August 2014. He unashamedly believes that God has called him, equipped him, and disciplined him for the sole purpose of shepherding His flock as he seeks to make His name known to all generations. It is his heart’s desire and vision to shepherd a Christ-centered household of faith that prays the Psalms, lives the Sermon on the Mount, believes in the priesthood of all believers, and passionately embraces the mission of God.

He and his wife, Angela have been married for 20 years and have two beautiful daughters, Abigail and Avery, who are extraordinary in every way.
