Woodstock Presbyterian Church is happy to welcome Reverend Michael Christian “Chris” Wingard as our new Pastor!
Rev. Chris grew up in Columbia, SC until his father answered the call to go into ministry moving their family to Columbia Seminary in Decatur, GA. He then earned his Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary and holds a bachelor's degree in history from Presbyterian College.
Chris has served four other Presbyterian churches around the southeast before joining Woodstock Presbyterian in 2025. Chris is committed to engaging and educating families and individuals to strengthen their faith journeys. He is devoted to staying actively engaged in pastoral care, loving and caring for the congregation and the community. He believes The Church is the visible demonstration of the Body of Christ in the world today. Together we seek to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission to Go into all the world and bring men and women to discipleship baptizing them in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.
Chris is married to Teresa and has four amazing children, Hannah, Camden, Emily and Ross. He can most often be found cheering on his son’s baseball team, the Atlanta Braves or the SC Gamecocks. He enjoys spending time with his family and attending live concerts.
We are overjoyed to receive him and his family, and praise God as we continue our journey of Faith. We are also grateful for Rev. Zeta Lamberson's ministry in our Church during the last couple of years, and pray God for blessings for her and her family as she enjoys retirement!
We are broadcasting our Sunday Worship Service on Facebook Live! Go to our Facebook page to watch our previous broadcasts (which remain on the page for 30 days), and join us online, if you cannot join us in person!
The First Sunday of every month we participate in Holy Communion as a part of our regular Worship Service. Communion is open to anyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the Lord.
