About

My name is Chris Schoon. I am a pastor, writer, and teacher, living in Grand Rapids, MI. I use this site as an easy way for people to find me and connect to my other online spaces.

Over the past twenty+ years, I’ve served in several ministry roles, including as a denominational ministry director, a lead pastor, and an outreach minister, caring for churches in both the U.S. and Canada. Along with my pastoral roles, I’ve had the privilege of teaching a handful of mission, ministry, and leadership courses in undergraduate and graduate contexts. I’ve also written and spoken of a variety of faith formation, worship, mission, and leadership topics.

Currently, I provide leadership and spiritual formation coaching, as well as a variety of consultation services, through Lamp Post Consultants. I preach occasionally (mostly in West Michigan) and am doing some writing over on Substack. Feel free to connect with me through the contact page on this site.
