Chris Melton
Bro. Chris Melton is one of Sanford Hill?s newest deacons. He was ordained in early 2005. He has been an active member since joining our church while dating his wife, Heather.
Chris was saved the summer following his eighth grade year while attending, a church camp in North Carolina. While he cannot recall the name of his camp counselor, he certainly knows that Jesus came to live in his heart that day. Since his salvation experience, Chris has sought to be faithful to his Lord and his Lord's church. Chris says, "There have been some down times when my faithfulness and therefore my growth has not been all it should have been. I have learned that being more active in the church, my Bible study and my prayer times have helped me to remain on target with the Lord's plan for me.
Bro. Melton's favorite book of the Bible is John; his favorite chapter is Romans 6; and his favorite verses are Matthew 6:33-34, But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. His favorite Christian author is Max Lacado.
His goal as a deacon and as a member of Sanford Hill is to reach people in non-traditional ways.
