Chris Barrett

Creative Arts Pastor

Hi! My name is Chris Barrett and I am the Creative Arts Pastor here at Riverside. I joined the team in May 2018 and feel truly blessed to be a part of this amazing church! I grew up in San Diego, CA where I endured the harsh weather until heading off to Los Angeles to attend Azusa Pacific University. I acquired a Bachelors in Music with an emphasis in Church Music and Worship. Not only that, but I was privileged to meet my amazing wife, Emma. We have two wonderful children, our daughter, Piper and our son, Colt who fill our hearts and lives. I am so thankful to call Riverside Church my home!
