Pastor Christopher T. Harris was born on April 1, 1974 in Chicago, Illinois to Ezekiel Simpson and Patricia Ann Harris. A member of the Bright Star Church Of God In Christ since birth, he received his foundation in holiness under the leadership and mentoring of the late founder, Dr. James B. Stovall, Sr. On May 30, 1993, Pastor Harris was saved and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. In 1992, after graduating from Tabernacle Christian Academy, he attended Olive-Harvey College.
Pastor Harris has lived his life as more than a conqueror. Born blind and growing up struggling with asthma, Pastor Harris overcame these when God healed him miraculously. He has also overcome a low socio-economic environment. Poverty did not preclude his pursuit of excellence and his destiny. Due to his elevation, he has survived the loss of friends and acquaintances without losing his focus.
