Pastor Chris Hagler has been serving with us since July of 2017. Pastor Chris was first introduced to the Christian faith in the Roman Catholic tradition. Upon his senior year in high school, he experienced first-hand God’s gracious love for him through Jesus Christ. Through many twists and turns along with a few ups and downs he has found his faith rejuvenated again in The Global Methodist Church. Pastor Chris earned a Master of Divinity degree in May 2000 and previously served as an assistant pastor and pastor within the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church.  Today he serves as a Global Methodist pastor within the Northeast provisional conference of the Global Methodist Church.

Pastor Chris and his wife, Tracy, between them have four children (Chris’ adult son, Tracy’s adult son & daughter, and their teenage daughter)

Since his appointment to our church, he leads Sunday morning worship. We are blessed to have him serve as our Pastor here at Tonawanda Methodist Church.
