Pastor
Rev. Chris Hallam
Pastor Chris joined the Northminster team in February 2020. A Michigander by choice, Chris moved back to the state in 2018 after completing her degree at Princeton Theological Seminary to work at Kirk in the Hills as their Resident Minister. Also trained as a studio artist and graphic designer, her passion is thinking creatively about the future of the church. An avid nature lover, she can often be found on the hiking trails or rock climbing.
