Missions Chris Garriott, Reformed University Fellowship at UMD Chris Garriott will be our guest this Sunday morning. He is in his fifth year as RUF Campus Minister at the University of Maryland. Chris grew up in Granite, MD, just west of Baltimore and graduated from Randallstown High School where he was greatly impacted by the ministry of Young Life and his church youth ministry. After community college, he finished his Civil Engineering degree from Geneva College just north of Pittsburgh. He next worked for the MD State Highway Administration in traffic engineering and for several years began sensing God's call to go to seminary and study the Bible and theology. This call took him to Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. Upon finishing his degree there, Chris taught Bible and coached baseball at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis. After receiving a call into church youth ministry, Chris left St. Louis for the wind and plains of OK where he was the youth pastor at Heritage Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City (1998-2006). Chris loves to play the guitar, read theology, watch and play sports, ski, hang out with students, discuss the big questions of life, take major road trips, camp, and eat crabs. Childhood dream?
