Chris Shinnick

Lead Pastor, Manna Church West Florida

Pastor Chris Shinnick planted Manna Church West Florida with a special group of families in September of 2016. Growing up in a family that prioritized faith and was surrounded by sports, Chris eventually met his wife, Becky, at the University of Hawaii, where he played football and she was a cheerleader. They began doing ministry together both at their church and with Athletes in Action on the university campus. The Shinnicks have a passion for seeing people find themselves in Jesus and discover their purpose for life through the Church. Pastor Chris is an ordained minister who graduated from Denver Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree in 2010. He has served in full-time ministry for over 25 years. He loves teaching God’s Word, building up men, helping families thrive, and equipping people to change their world. Chris and Becky have four children: Sebastian (15), Evangeline (12), Emmett (9), and Lysander (with Jesus).
