In 2016, Henry and his family moved to Chico from the Bay Area, where Henry served as a pastor for nine years. Although Henry grew up in Petaluma, CA, his education pulled him eastward across the country, first to Arizona for his bachelor’s degree and then to New Jersey for his Master of Divinity at Princeton Seminary. Henry finally returned to California to earn his doctorate at Fuller. One of Henry’s joys in ministry is seeing how people make connections between their faith, gifting, and their service to God. He likes to witness how we receive the fullness of life when we serve in the manner in which Christ made us.

Henry and his wife, Jenna, have three young children: Hartley, Hayden, and Madeline. In addition to his passion for Christ and ministry, Henry loves the Giants, Red Sox, 49ers and Warriors, Golf, Guitar and music, films, everything that is written by Tim Keller, several books by NT Wright, and his favorite biography is The Unfinished Life of JFK. While he was in seminary he took film classes in New York, and received training and performed in the theater, which he also studied in college along with Communications.

Shannon grew up in Chicago and came to BPC after graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2011. Prior to seminary, Shannon had two previous careers and lived in New York City and Chicago. BPC has been her first full-time ministry experience and she loves being a pastor, preacher, teacher, and friend to the congregation.

Shannon’s two favorite people in the world are her husband, Chris, who is a pastor in the Bay Area, and her son, Rylan, who is in high school. She loves outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking, as well as indoor activities like watching movies, reading and making jewelry. Her passion is helping people go deeper in their walk with Christ and continuing to learn about God while on the journey of life.
