Chris Currie
LEAD PASTOR
Having lived here most of his adult life, Chris considers Philadelphia home—but a love for college football and fried okra 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 with John Applegate & Associates, where she specializes in therapy for children and adolescents. Chris became Resurrection’s lead pastor in summer of 2021. 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, cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs, reading Harry Potter (with or without his kids), and doing pretty much anything that feels like an adventure
