New Wine, New Wineskins

Chris Duclos

Chris was born in San Jose and raised in the Redding, California area. He worked with youth in residential group homes and nearly became a police officer until back problems prevented him from being hired. This change of direction led to meeting Jamie, his wonderful wife, whom he would marry in 2004, and follow back to her hometown of Vancouver, Washington.

Because back problems persisted, Chris returned to school. He completed an online BA degree in Religious Studies in 2007, and then an MDiv at Multnomah in May of 2010. Chris recognizes that the time spent at Multnomah was rich in both learning and in spiritual formation. Now, while continuing to intern with New Wine, Chris aims to more fully learn and practice a Christ-like integration of the thoughts of the mind, the affections of the heart, and the actions of the hands, feet, and tongue. He is thankful for the people of New Wine, and others, who continue to walk alongside him in this journey.

Chris and Jamie are currently preparing to move to France as they sense the Lord’s leading.
