Christopher Fowler

Chris Fowler was appointed as Visionary and Executive Director of Pushpay on 13 December 2019.

Chris started working on what became Church Community Builder for his local church in 1999, recognising a need for an internet-based solution to help people and their church connect with each other and to make sure people were not falling through the cracks, when their desire was to find connection and community. As an entrepreneur with a passion for the local church, Chris imagined something beyond the outdated back office tools of the time, which ultimately resulted in the church management system that Church Community Builder now provides the church.

As the child of a worship pastor and grandchild of a senior pastor, Chris has been involved in the church his entire life, including serving on the elder board of two churches including the mega-church he currently attends, New Life Church, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, US (a Customer of both Pushpay and Church Community Builder). Chris previously served as the CEO of Church Community Builder. Chris also played a key role in the formation of Outreach, Inc (https://www. outreach.com) and prior to that led and grew the Audio Books division of Ingram Entertainment.

Chris brings key industry knowledge and 26 years of business experience to the Pushpay Board of Directors. Chris holds a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Belmont University. Chris lives with his family in Colorado Springs.
