Rev. Christopher Ian Chenoweth

Love and comfort to Chris’ family. Our family loved Chris since 1992. He had such a wonderful impact on us through weddings, vow renewals, and blessings. His sermons and his friendship were life changing for all if us.

ENJOYED POSITIVE MINISTRY ON NET

Chris literally saved my life with his kind words when I was so ill and doctors had turned their back on me. He wrote and told me this too will pass and he was right!
What a joy he has been with his daily messages every day in my life.

You will be missed. You have encouraged, and taught me how to be a better person.

Sincerely,
Your friend always

I became acquainted with Positive Christianity and “radio broadcasts” in approximately 2006, when a friend, Lorraine, from a Unity Church, connected me with those emails. Since that time, I have started each morning with his readings. As previously stated, he had a very powerful presence (and seemingly immediate impact!) in prayer. I think his life story and witness are more profound than in anyone else I have ever known on a personal basis. The daily readings, the video recordings, CDs,his personal answer to prayer requests, the crusies (my husband and I went on one) the sermons, meditations, visitations and speaking engagements, his ongoing communications after passing over! -plus, an untold number of unspoken good deeds…. What a guy! Obviously, he communicated with many people, but in the process, he still made me feel as if I truly mattered.

He lives on!

I have read learned and loved Chris and his inspirations since the late 1990s. I went with my dad who is now passed to a multi day seminar at UNITY CHURCH in Houston. I have enjoyed end read positive inspiration almost every day ever since. Attending that event is one of my fondest memories with my dad, and I’m so blessed to have been a part of this ministry! When I’ve been in need, God sent me messages through Chris and his inspirations. I am so grateful for the love, joy and the blessings he’s giving myself and others. We are so blessed to have known him and God. May their love continue to bless us forever.

Every morning I have listened to Rev. Chris and looked forward to his daily emails, and at night I have listened to his messages…he willllll be dearly missed…I am praying for the family…

My husband and I have been on 2 cruises with Chris and also start everyday with his Positive Christianity messages.
His prayers were so powerful and I had asked for many prayers during the years.
We will miss his laugh and smiles. Thank you, Chris, for the legacy you and Positive Christianity have left.

Until we meet again.

Thank you for all you did and will continue to do. You have been a blessing and inspiration to me. Your daily emails and videos always had the right words to carry me through the day.
You will be missed, but I know you are rejoicing.
Deepest condolences to the family.

Thank you Rev Chris. You had a positive and uplifting impact on my life. Until we meet again.

What a blessing your family has been to the world. You have generously shared Reverend Chris with us all, through the years past; and now, for the years to come, through his internet ministry.

You will be reading scores of messages, and accolades about Chris; but there is no way to realize the hearts that he has helped mend, and the lives that he has helped guide through his amazing wisdom, positivity, laughter, and cheerful outlook on life’s journey.

While your hearts—and all our hearts—may feel a sort of brokenness…I surmise that most all of us also feel a warmth and glee when we think of Chris… and where he is now!

While a group of mourners will be gathering in Michigan at noon, on this Planet Earth’s Eastern Standard Time… is there anyone of us, who can imagine what CHRIS is experiencing at this time?!!! Just think…

Chris will have the best seat in the house!!!

Like everyone else here who knew Rev.Chris Chenoweth, he was such a positive example and influence in anyone’s life who ever came into his sphere. My husband and I have met him in the 90s at a unity Church, and later went on cruises with him. It was such a great opportunity to be with like-minded people on a path for spiritual health. There’s no doubt that we have lost such a great soul, but also know that we will see him again and that he’s really not gone. His legacy is how we pay forward what we learned and felt from him. You are loved Reverend Chris Chenowith.

My prayers and condolences are extended to the family of Rev. Chris Chenoweth. The seeds he planted will continue to grow in my life and the lives of others who benefited from his sharing the gift the our Lord and Savior blessed him with.

Such fond memories of Chris when he was at the Village Chapel and I was in ministerial school. I can still see him with his yellow legal pad with his talk on it walking up and down the aisles as he gave his message. He was so generous and continues that generosity with his ongoing website and volumes of talks, prayers and so much more…Chris you will continue to be a source of comfort for all of us just in another form…

My prayers of condolences to the family, loved ones, and friends of Rev Chris, may your find comfort and peace in the coming days/weeks.
Although I didn’t know Rev Chris personally, I came to know him through his online ministry and am very grateful for the daily emails I received as they helped me through some very rough times before and following my husband’s death 3 years ago.
Rev Chris lives on in the lives, such as mine, he’s touched over the years. What a blessing he has been!
In conclusion I offer this prayer Rev Chris also offered in his emails:
The Light of God surrounds us,
The Love of God enfolds us,
The Power of God protects us,
And, the Presence of God watches over us;
Wherever we are, God is… And all is well!
God bless each and every one of us.

Dear, sweet Chris,
My friend, I’m so glad I thought to get in touch when I was in Houston a few years ago. It was a joy to see you then and it was wonderful of you to meet me for lunch. Your prayers then were, as always, much appreciated.
I’m so sad we’ve lost you but happy for your transition. I know you must be busy up there, and probably helping people wherever you go.
Thank you for sharing your time on Earth with me – and with all of us at Unity, on the cruise we all took together, and in that whirlwind marriage ceremony on board. Thanks for the fun in Austin when we saw a crazy theater production together, and on the ride back home when you had a two-seater but I squeezed into the back so Jackie could ride in front. Those were some fun times!
Thank you for creating your transition announcement and for leaving us with many prayers and stories to enjoy in the future. It’s a gift beyond measure.
I’ll miss you.
Love,
Eileen

Reverend Christopher Chenoweth was an amazing man. I first met Chris when he filled in for vacationing pastors at Unity Church in Arlington TX. Chris exuded happiness & positivity. I’m sure everyone who met Chris felt like he was their close friend. I loved hearing his sermons and attending his workshops. I was involved in putting together a men’s retreat at lake Murray Lodge in Oklahoma & invited Chris to attend & he graciously accepted, what a great time. My wife and I were on one of his Positive Christianity cruises and it was a blast. Chris made everyone feel special and he will be sorely missed. When I heard of Chris’ passing, tears came to my eyes knowing I wouldn’t have another opportunity to give him a hug and say goodbye! Godspeed Reverend Christopher Ian Chenoweth, you will be missed!

Thank you, Chris, for blessing my life with your presence. I have supported your ministry financially for several years and you have supported my ministry with your writings and your calm, loving demeanor. I offer prayers for peace and comfort for your family, as well as for all of us who have been touched by your life and your passing. Godspeed, Chris. I loved you, my friend. I always will.

The most beautiful soul I’ve known. Blessed to have stayed in contact over the years. Getting to know him during his time in Salt Lake was so wonderful for me. He was a blessing to many. And his daily inspirations were always so meaningful and often hit home for me even after I became Buddhist. What a special life. Condolences to his loved ones – a life well lived.

Used to enjoy Chris’ messages at the Unity Village Chapel back in 1991 when I was in Unity ministerial training. He had a special charisma. Had a meeting with him once to ask about how he prepared Sunday sermons and he was very generous in sharing. Although I had not seen him since 1992 until just a few minutes ago in his farewell video online, I recognized his voice immediately even though he was much older. Thank you Chris for your ministry! Peace and comfort to loved ones. Rev Justin Epstein, The Unity Center of New York City unitycenternyc.com

Rev Chris and his teachings have had a huge impact on my life. He is the most positive person I ever met.
He will be missed but we are so blessed his teachings will continue
Grateful for all he shared. My prayers for his family. Chris truly touched many lives.

I count myself as one of the lucky ones who got to know Chris personally, back in the late 1990’s in Salt Lake City, when he was the acting pastor of Unity Spiritual Center. What a wonderful, inspiring man! He helped us through some difficult times then and we were grateful to count him as one of our friends. I have followed his daily inspirational messages and shared his Positive Daily Quotes with family and friends every day, since he started Positive Chritianity on line back in 1998. Over the years, I have had many people comment “what a wonderfully positive person you are”, but the truth was Chris’s messages gave me strength and I took great pleasure in sharing that inspiration with others thru his messages. Chris, you lived well and fully, and you will be missed. The torch of your faith and message will be carried forward by all of us who were touched by you. Rest in peace….

Our family met Chris Chenowith about 1989 when he was the senior minister at Unity Village. What a powerful and dynamic minister he was! I remember him organizing and leading the biggest hay ride in the world at Unity Village! We made into the Guinness Book as a world record! Another time at the last minute he invited the entire congregation to his cottage at the Village for a Fourth of July cookout. I think a couple of hundred people showed up and all Chris had was a pack hotdogs, an 18 inch Weber Grill and a cooler (empty)! It was a loaves and fishes experience and it all worked out and we had great time. He always demonstrated that God will provide!

I will always remember his prosperity sermon when he spoke of the time when he was a Nashville broadcaster out on assignment in a rural area. He said that before he got the call for the assignment he was lamenting because he was so poor. The only money that he had was a quarter in his pocket. Nonetheless, he took the mobile broadcast vehicle out to the assignment and began preparing to raise the antenna to make the broadcast. While he was on the ladder a thunderstorm began, lightning flashed and struck the antenna. Chris held on while the lightning bolt sent a electricity surging down the ladder. But the quarter, still in his pocket, was in contact with the ladder and grounded out the electrical surge saving his life. Chris said that the quarter was all the prosperity that he needed at that time and he was grateful for it. Again, the message that God always provides.

Chris will be missed but I am so grateful that he was a part of my life.

Rev Chris was an amazing person who uplifted others through his worldwide ministry. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him on some projects and saw how this truly great minister LIVED his message. Thank you, Chris, for your unending positivity, wonderful sense of humor, talent at story-telling, life-changing sermons, prayers in time of need, and guidance and support. You’re one of the “Greats.” I will miss you.

We were fortunate to meet Chris when he became the minister of Unity Village. His sermons were always filled of wonderful stories and meaningful lessons of Truth. He loved his children with all his heart and mentioned them often. My children loved all the family, fun-filled activities that he planned. In my opinion, he was the best Unity minister at Unity Village. He was the most kind and loving person you could you ever meet. He always had the right words to comfort you. He helped my mother, myself, and my siblings through the loss of my father. His support was truly unforgettable. He will greatly be missed.

Chris brought the Daily Word to life for us in the late 80’s in Rockford, IL. He was an iconic speaker that always created an vivid story every Sunday as he did every day to the end. We were very blessed to experience this man who brought us into Unity and was a great friend.

God bless you Rev Chenoweth. you are love personified and now with angels. your Earth Walk was powerful and loving. thank you.

I am so sad. Thank you. I love you and your ministry. I was reading one of your wonderful prayers and decided to visit the website. Your prayer of Employment helped me at a time when I was laid off from a job of 15 years and I was scared….I found you on YouTube. Many more of your prayers have helped me. Thank you again and I love you and your ministry.
