Christopher J. Cali

Lead Pastor

Christopher J. Cali

Christopher was born and raised in Baldwinsville, New York. He attended the State University of New York at Oswego where he first was called into the ministry. Chris served as a youth and young adults pastor in Cicero, New York before moving out to Portland Oregon where he assisted in the planting of the Well Church. Due to the distance from home and his family Christopher decided to move back to the east coast. During the move, Chris decided to attend law school. He graduated from Suffolk University Law School in 2005 and since 2007 has served as a corporate Chief Legal Officer.

In 2017, Christopher again felt the call to ministry. Sensing this call he returned to school and attended Reformed Theological Seminary where he pursued his Doctor of Ministry degree. In 2023, he was elected by Northside Baptist Church to be their new Lead Pastor. Today, Christopher serves as the Lead Pastor of Northside Church in Liverpool and founder of Coram Deo Ministries. Chris is married to his wife Ashley, and they have three daughters, Izabella, Piper, and Hayden.

Life Verse

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” – John 1:1-5 (NKJV)
