Chris Lawson is the Founder and President of Spiritual Research Network, Inc. (SRN). He is a missionary, pastor and Bible teacher and has been happily married to his wife Jennifer since 1993. Chris and his wife and children currently reside on the Central Coast of California, where they carry on their local ministry.

Formerly a Calvary Chapel pastor of fourteen years (1997-2011), Chris has been actively involved in church planting and overseas missions work since 1992. More recently, he began the Spiritual Research Network ministry (2004) as part of his Scotland Missions outreach (Edinburgh, Scotland).

While continuing to work on a degree in Biblical Theology through Tyndale Theological Seminary and Bible Institute, Chris teaches local Bible studies and periodic biblical discernment seminars. He also continues to work through the recovery process of a life changing back injury in the Fall of 2008.

The ministry of SRN, based on the following two scriptures, has served as a means for Chris to proclaim the Gospel. SRN has also served as a means to expose deception in and out of the church, and to help extend the visibility of fellow ministries and colleagues with balanced, proven track records..

“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:9-11, KJV).

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect [mature, whole, complete] in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” (Colossians 1:27-29, KJV).
