About Chris & Raelene
We met at church over 12 years ago and continue to stay very involved in our church. We both serve as heads of the children’s programs, including teaching Sunday School and running the Wednesday night youth programs. Our faith is at the core of who we are and from our love for God we look for ways to love on others and help where needed.
Together we enjoy:
- Traveling anywhere (We’ve been to 5 continents, 11 countries, and 28 of the 50 states!)
- Talking about almost anything
- Watching old movies
- Playing with our two dogs
- Growing a giant vegetable garden
- Fishing in the local ponds
- Hiking our local trails

I know she will be a great mom! Raelene has worked with babies and young children for years and all the parents we know trust her around their kids. As a mother she will be loving, protective, attentive, and thoughtful.

Meet Chris
According to Raelene: I love Chris’ kind heart, his genuine love for God, and his willingness to help anyone he meets. Chris is dedicated, passionate, and hard-working. He will be the greatest dad! He’s great with the children we teach at church and the kids love being around him. Chris is curious and always trying to figure out how things work. He’ll be the kind of father who wants to show our child how to learn new things and work on them together.

- Playing or watching sports
- Hunting and target shooting (he also loves to teach others about firearm safety!)
- Studying history
