Canada West Mission (CWM)

Guest Speaker Chris Phelps

I am husband of Erica, father of Amelia and Katelyn. For years, and years, and years I was the pastor or co-pastor of the Vancouver Congregation of Community of Christ. I recently finished a 15 year terms as the director of CWM Reunion at Samish Island Campground and Retreat Center (in Washington State) and am currently the President of the Board of Directors of the Samish Island Campground Association. I did my time at Graceland College (not University as I’m too old for that particular change) and graduated in 1994. I’ve completed the Spiritual Formation and Companioning Program, and am therefore a registered good listener.

I am a guitar player, pianist, singer, and lover of music in most forms. I am an avid golfer and skier, although not very good at either. I love interesting discussion, deep conversation, and sharing ideas of how to make the world a more joyful and hopeful place.

I’ve never been to Hills of Peace, but have heard many a tale. I look forward to sharing with everyone at the Men’s Retreat - and enjoying a slice of pie or three.
