Rev. Chris Allen

Vice President of Investments & Lending

 

I grew up in Tampa, Florida, and completed my undergraduate studies in history, American culture and religious studies at Washington University in St. Louis. I earned my Master of Divinity at Duke Divinity School and completed my MBA at the University of Florida.

Throughout my career, I have served churches in various capacities, including youth ministry, executive pastor, discipleship, church planter and spiritual formation. I am an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church and feel called to help congregations better steward their God-given resources. I believe that sound financial management is crucial to supporting vital ministries and creating sustainable futures for our churches.

When not serving the Foundation, I enjoy cheering for the Florida Gators and Duke Blue Devils, running marathons and coaching football. I live with my wife, Erica and our three children.
