Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Chris Phillips brings a passion for gospel expansion and leadership development to his role as the Send City Missionary for Denver. After a decade-long career in medical sales, Chris followed God’s call into full-time ministry, serving at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis before relocating to Denver in 2017 to begin the work of church planting. Chris now serves as the Lead Pastor of Riverside Church Family, a multiplying church with four locations across the Denver metro. With a heart for reaching the spiritually disconnected and equipping leaders for long-term kingdom impact, he is committed to seeing churches planted, disciples made, and communities transformed throughout the Front Range. Chris is married to Libby, and they have four children—Tripp, Paxton, Rhett, and Henley Grace. They love life in the city and are passionate about helping others discover the joy of living the Jesus life in Denver and beyond.
