Christian started attending the Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, Charlottesville in March 2008 after getting kicked out of his old church, the Grace Baptist Church. He was baptised at WMUMC on Mother's Day of 2008.[1]
WFMC is closely associated with the University of Virginia. Ironically, given his intense homophobia, Chris attends a homo-accepting church because it is the only one that won't kick him out. Having been besieged with nudes of Chris, they now have this disclaimer on their homepage: "We are not responsible for any content or links that may appear on the personal web pages of any member of this congregation."
Bob attended with his son, with Barbara usually staying home.[2]
People
- Reverend Ed Winkler, current pastor
- Reverend Elizabeth Foss, former pastor
- Marty Peterman, who told Chris to not send anything over the internet he wouldn't want his grandmother to see[3]
- Reverend Rocky Shoemaker, pastoral counselor; Elizabeth introduced Rocky to Chris in September 2008 because she knows Chris doesn't listen to men[3]
Since Elizabeth and Rocky are authority figures Chris respects, he lists them as references on his resume and continually seeks help from them against trolls.[4]
