Chris Mindi, Pastor

Chris was born and raised in Vizag, India. He grew up in a pastor's family and was not very keen on going into full-time ministry after watching how difficult ministry can be. After finishing his undergrad in computer science, he worked for a tech company for two years. However, the Lord had different plans for him. He soon began to question life's purpose as he watched thousands of young people work tirelessly without any end goal. This led him to seek God more seriously and eventually pursue vocational ministry.

In 2015, he came to the US to pursue his Masters in theology at the Baptist Missionary Association of Texas Seminary in Jacksonville, Texas. The Missions department encouraged him to consider church planting in 2017. After much prayer, he decided to pursue church planting in Austin. While pursuing his Master of Divinity. He met his wife, Sarah, in Chicago and got married in 2019.

Sarah is from Hyderabad, India. After finishing her undergrad in India, she was convinced that God wanted her in full time ministry to help women understand God’s word with clarity. She pursued her Masters at Moody Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois.

They have been living in North Austin since and have been blessed with two beautiful daughters. They love exploring new places and enjoy hosting people. If you are craving some Indian food, come on over!
