Dr.
Chris Brewer knew that the Lord had called
him into full time ministry on his first day of sixth grade
youth
camp.
The
calling
would
lead him to study at Gordon
College in Wenham, Massachusetts
where he would earn a Bachelor of Arts with
a double major in Biblical and Theological Studies and
Youth Ministry. Soon after graduation he married and moved
to
St. Petersburg, Florida to serve as the youth minister
at
Northeast
Presbyterian Church. Wanting to be closer to his parents
he eventually moved his
family to Jacksonville and took a job as the youth pastor
at Memorial
United Methodist Church in Fernandina Beach. Simultaneously,
Chris released his first studio album, Why Calvary? and
began a traveling ministry as a camp and conference worship
leader and speaker. He was
the
guest
speaker and musician
for numerous Methodist,
Presbyterian
and Lutheran
youth camps all over the country. In 2001, Chris helped
his father found Brewer Christian College and continued
his
own studies,
graduating from The Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship
Studies in 2008. His doctoral thesis, which examined
the concept
of online chapel, was completed under the supervision
of his mentor and good friend Dr.
Andrew Hill,
noted Old Testament scholar
from Wheaton
College. Since earning his doctorate, Chris served as
the Director of Distance Learning at The
Robert E. Webber Insitute for Worship Studies, has
led worship and served as a workshop speaker for the
