Christopher George Sykes

Chris Sykes is the Lead Pastor at West End Church in Walls, Mississippi, which has become known for hands raised in passionate worship, arms open to every guest, and services saturated in prayer. A graduate of Blue Mountain Christian University and The University of Mississippi School of Law, Pastor Chris leads with the homegrown values of North Mississippi. But his unique style and voice has been informed by time spent on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Attorney's office in Memphis, by serving 17 years as kids pastor and on senior leadership teams at two of America's largest, fastest growing churches, and by managing large paid and volunteer staff teams as well as leading and growing a multi-million dollar franchise. Chris has loved and led alongside his beautiful wife Stephanie since 1999. They have four children: Grayson, Caitlyn, Campbell, and George.
