I want to introduce myself and my family for those who might be interested in the new church!  My name is Chris Talleri, and I have a wonderful wife named Jennifer and our son Micaiah.  We are all native Texans who fell in love with Colorado and the church planting vision of Gospel Church in Durango and decided to relocate to this area to plant a new church in partnership with them.  I have been a Christian for 22 years and I studied at East Texas Baptist University for my undergraduate and at Dallas Baptist University for my Masters in Christian Education.  I have served as a youth pastor for the past 10 years in various Baptist churches across Texas and have my experience in that area but felt a strong call into the pastoral role of the church.  We are beyond excited about the opportunity to plant a church in Bayfield and would love to meet anyone in the Bayfield area that might be interested in joining us in this endeavor!
