Baptism: Chris Eldridge

Chris believed in God from a young age, but he never felt that he had developed a relationship with God. He’d focused on building good morals and making good decisions in life, but he had also been turning to sinful things to try and find happiness. Some of these decisions and actions led him to spiral into a dark place. He struggled to talk to anyone about his sinful actions because he was ashamed of his behaviors, and it was just easier not to talk about them.

Chris and his family had had some negative church experiences, which caused him to stop attending. Then, his wife introduced him to Northridge early on in their relationship. It was just before his first daughter was going to be born that Chris lost a good friend who was killed in his family home. This tragedy made Chris question and wonder how something like this could happen. At that point, he turned to God, begging him for guidance and wisdom.
