Rev. Chris and Rebekah Hunt, 
Associate & Family Pastor
    

Pastor Chris is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and a dedicated faculty member of the Appalachian District School of Ministry. He also serves energetically as the Appalachian Networks Assistant Youth Director. His calling began across the pond in England, where he was born into a devout Christian family. Feeling the call to ministry as a teenager, he embarked on his spiritual journey in his early 20s, serving as an Assistant Youth Pastor in his local church.

It was during this formative period that he met his now wife, Rebekah, who was working in the UK as a Children’s Church Intern. Their shared passion for ministry led them to the United States, where they served as both Youth and Associate Pastors in Raven, Virginia, and later as lead Pastors in Dorothy, WV. They now continue their impactful ministry at Parkersburg First Assembly of God.

Pastor Chris and Rebekah have been happily married for 16 years and are blessed with three wonderful children: daughters Arabella and Josephine, and their son D.C. With a heart full of enthusiasm and dedication, Pastor Chris strives to make a meaningful impact in the lives of the youth and the broader church community.
