The Rev. Chris White

Our minister is The Reverend Chris White.  She is a “local” woman who has lived and worked in greater Cincinnati all of her life, except for the three years she spent at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.  She graduated from Glen Este High School and received her bachelor’s degree from Xavier University. 

 Pastor Chris spent 25 years working for Procter and Gamble before responding to God’s calling to go into full-time ministry.  She served as elder at Calvin Presbyterian Church and then White Oak Presbyterian Church, devoting much of her time to various Presbyterian projects.  She served as Interim Pastor of the Sharonville Presbyterian Church for her first call, before coming to Norwood PC in January, 2004 as “stated supply.”

Pastor Chris enjoys being close to most of her immediate family (who live in Clermont County).  She also likes being “in the heart” of the greater Cincinnati area, and is proud to now claim Norwood as her home.  She has fun “puttering” in the tiny yard of her renovated home.

She loves meeting new people – and hopes she will have the opportunity of getting to know many new people through the worship services and activities of the Norwood Presbyterian Church.
