Chris Currie
LEAD PASTOR
Having lived here most of his adult life, Chris considers Philadelphia home—but a love for college football and soul food bear witness to his southern roots. Chris grew up around Atlanta and graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.A. in history, soon after marrying his college sweetheart Bonnie. Together they moved to Philadelphia to study at Westminster Theological Seminary, where an invite to a staff dinner persuaded them to take on a part-time job leading the youth ministry at Resurrection (then City Church). Chris graduated from WTS with an M.Div., Bonnie with a degree in counseling. Today Bonnie works as a Licensed Professional Counselor with John Applegate & Associates, where she specializes in therapy for children and adolescents. Chris became Resurrection’s lead pastor in summer of 2021 and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation and Relational Neuroscience through Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. The Curries have three wonderful kids and live in Fairmount. When he gets a spare moment, Chris enjoys playing the guitar and writing songs, drawing and painting, traveling, coaching youth baseball, and cheering on the Phillies, Eagles, and his beloved Georgia Bulldogs.
