Our Vicar: The Rev. Dr. Christopher King

Before coming to St. James in early 2008, Father Chris worked in parishes in New York City and served four years as youth ministries officer for the Diocese of New York. He studied for the priesthood at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA and earned his doctorate in theology from Oxford University. A published scholar, he also teaches at the Mercer School of Theology in Garden City. Father Chris hails from the farmlands of Middle Tennessee and loves the big heart and easygoing attitude of Long Beach.
