Dr. Chris Norris serves as the senior pastor of Fair Haven Baptist Church in Hendersonville, North Carolina. He has faithfully ministered for over three decades, with a passion for expository preaching, sound doctrine, and shepherding God’s people. Pastor Norris holds an Associate in Theology (1994), a Bachelor’s in Theology (1997), a Master’s in Theology (2020), and earned his Doctorate in Theology in 2022. As an Independent Fundamental Baptist, he stands firmly on the King James Bible, believes in the pre-tribulation rapture, and is committed to evangelism, missions, and local church ministry.
