Medford First Church of the Nazarene

Pastor Chris Sixkiller

Pastor Chris is an assistant to our children’s pastor. He has a lovely wife of 18 years, two wonderful little girls, ages 10 and 14, and eight dogs of several breeds. He lives in Jacksonville, Oregon, a historic town just outside Medford.

After a time in the military, Chris and his wife took over his mother’s cleaning service in Medford, Oregon. They now have 21 employees and have expanded their services into other areas. Chris & Shelia have been actively involved in ministry for over 12 years. Their ministry calls have been youth pastoring for two years in Eagle Point, Oregon, Men’s Ministry, serving on church boards, and leading prayer for the City of Medford. Chris is a district licensed pastor within the Church of the Nazarene. He currently serves as Children‘s Ministry Wednesday Night Director. He also is a Volunteer Minister at retirement homes, preaches at other churches, facilitates events, and serves with a servant’s heart. Chris is currently completing his necessary ordination classes at Nazarene Bible College.

Many wonder where Chris gets the energy and time to do all that he does, and he wonders sometimes also. However, he knows that his strength comes not from himself, but from the Lord.

Some of Chris's favorite scriptures are:

1 Cor. 9:22
"I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some."

1 John 4:4
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
