CHIP
GALLUP
Facilities Pastor
If City Life were a baseball team, Chip would be our utility player, stepping in to serve wherever he is needed. Chip grew up in San Diego, California, and later moved to a small town in the High Desert of California where he interned and served as a youth pastor. Chip and his wife, Amanda—who met at City Life—have two daughters, Amelia and Caroline. Chip loves food (all types of food!), which is why we lovingly call him our “Pastor-at-large!” So if you’re looking for someone to grab a meal with: He’s your guy! He loves all sports, too, even golf and tennis, and has a goal of attending a major event for every sport.
