A Knoxville native, Chris has lived in East Tennessee all his life. Jesus saved him from sin in 2001, he met his wife Tami in youth group (also 2001) and they were married in '05. They put down roots in "SoKno" (South Knox) and lived there almost 15 years. They have been blessed with 6 awesome kids and the whole family loves making music and being outdoors. Chris started his own landscaping business in 2011. He also became an elder in 2018 and was blessed (along with co-elder Jeremi) to plant Christ the King in 2021.

Daniel grew up in a Christian home in the Central Valley of California where Christ saved him at a young age. He married his high school sweetheart, April, shortly after graduating college in 2006. They then spent the first 14 years of their married life in the Inland Empire of Southern California where Daniel attended medical school, completed training, and began practicing medicine. Daniel also served as an elder in California beginning in 2012. In 2020, the Lord led him to move his family across the country to Knoxville. At the time of their move, Daniel doubted he ever wanted to elder again, and he was confident he did not want to be part of a church plant, but in the sometimes-humorous way the Lord writes stories, he led Daniel to bring his family to the plant of Christ the King in 2021, and then gave him a desire to elder again. Daniel became an elder at Christ the King in 2022. He and April are currently expecting their sixth child.
