2026 Speaker: Chris Prather
When Chris was in high school, the Lord radically grabbed ahold of Chris’ heart, and Jesus changed everything. With over a decade of daily surrender to Jesus, Chris aims to spend his life inspiring and equipping people to follow Jesus and to build the kingdom right where they
are. Chris desires to spend his life in closeness to Jesus- through faithful prayer and communion with God, and building the Kingdom of God wherever he is. Chris is equally committed to raising up more common, everyday, Kingdom Laborers alongside himself. Chris is married to Shelby, and they reside in Starkville, Mississippi with their 3 sons – Judah, Shepherd, and Dandy. Along with itinerant ministry with Forge, Chris is the senior pastor of a church in Starkville, MS.
