Andrew Whitaker, Campus Minister
Andrew Whitaker is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana and is married to Christianna and father to 3 little ones, Vivian, Charlie, and Elaina. The Whitaker's journey has taken them to Chicago, St. Louis, Wisconsin and South Carolina. Andrew and Christianna met while students at Moody Bible Institute where Andrew studied piano performance, were married in 2010 and then headed off to Covenant Seminary where Andrew completed his Master’s of Divinity. Andrew was ordained as a Gospel minister in the PCA in 2016 and has served as an Assistant pastor at two churches. The Whitakers enjoy the outdoors, catching up over a good meal, impromptu jam sessions, and adventuring in their pop-up camper affectionally named “Tiny Tim.”
