Chris Shanks

Chris & Jacinda have been married 29 years and have attended Memorial since 2008, where they immediately felt at home and welcomed. Chris grew up watching his grandfather model the role of a shepherd on his sheep ranch in New Mexico and also as a servant in the church. He received a BS in agriculture from Abilene Christian University and an MS in agriculture from Texas Tech University. He is humbled to be considered for the role as an elder and is ready to continue serving. He enjoys spending time with Jacinda and their children, Gracie, Katie and Ellie.
