Dr. Chris Sanchez

Executive Pastor

Chris Sanchez has been serving as the Executive Pastor at Dauphin Way Baptist Church since July 2024. Before joining Dauphin Way, Chris brought his expertise to various leadership roles in both church, business, and educational settings. Chris holds multiple degrees, including a BS Management, National-Louis University; MBA Finance, Keller Graduate School of Management; Master of Religious Education, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary; Master of Theology and PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is currently furthering his education by pursuing a Master of Accountancy. Chris has been married to his wife Melisa for 26 years. Together, they are blessed with two adult children. Chris’ passion in ministry is to serve the church by empowering others to fulfill their God-given potential and to see the community transformed by the gospel.

This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them. But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.
