Dr. Christopher J. Respass
accepted Jesus at the age of 18 and accepted his call to ministry six years later at St. James Missionary Baptist Church in Austin, Texas under the leadership of Dr. B. W. McClendon, Sr.
After serving five years as a youth pastor, Pastor Respass sensed the call to plant a new fellowship. In September 2002 Pastor Respass founded Antioch Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational, multicultural, bible-believing, Christian Church where their mission is to Evangelize the Lost, Disciple the Saved and Serve the Lord with the specific to Go: reach the forgotten, Grow: make and multiply disciples, Sow: train pastors and leaders, and Overflow: planting churches that multiply and partner with others.
God continues to bless the ministry and is growing the congregation in the knowledge of the Lord and His awesome word. Pastor Respass has the honor of being Charmaine’s husband and been blessed with three children, all of whom confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Lady Charmaine Respass
In 2002, together with Chris, she founded Antioch Christian Fellowship in Corinth, Texas. Lady Charmaine has held many roles– Women’s Ministry Director, Youth Leader, HOPE Director, and more. She currently serves as the Executive Director managing the operations of the church. Occasionally, she joyfully gets the opportunity to co-teach alongside her favorite pastor, sharing her wisdom and faith with the congregation and community.
In 2023, Charmaine developed Naomi’s Circle, a ministry that equip and develop women leaders in churches so that they lead with confidence and godly assurance within their respective ministries.
Charmaine’s greatest joy is her family. She and her husband, Lead Pastor Dr. Chris Respass have been married for over 25 years and have been blessed three adult children and four granddaughters. Their family stands as a testament to the power of love, faith, and the bonds of a shared spiritual journey.
