YOUTH PASTOR - Chris Mercurio

Pastor Chris was raised as a pastor’s kid in the Christian and Missionary Alliance. He prayed to ask Jesus into his life at age 3 but it wasn’t until his high school years that he really began to follow the Lord. Towards the end of high school, Chris sensed God’s call to ministry. He attended and graduated from Grove City College in 2006 with a degree in Christian Thought and Christian Ministries as well as a minor in Sociology. Through those college years, God continued to affirm His call on Chris’s life for ministry and in his senior year, the Lord led him to First Alliance where he is currently serving as the church’s Youth Pastor. Chris and his wife Faith, were married in August 2006. The newest addition to their family, Aiden Christopher, was born June 11th, 2009.
