Our Team

Christopher D. Banks serves as the Youth & Ministry Coordinator at Impact Church of the Woodlands, where he is deeply committed to the spiritual formation, emotional well-being, and holistic development of children, youth, and their families. His ministry centers on cultivating a Christ-centered environment that equips young people to grow in faith, character, and resilience amid the challenges of everyday life.

With a strong background in theology, apologetics, and pastoral leadership, Rev. Banks brings both academic rigor and relational care to his work. He is an adjunct professor at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, where he teaches courses in theology and apologetics, guiding students to think critically about their faith while grounding their beliefs in Scripture and sound doctrine. He is also the author of Surviving the Cross: An Evidentialist Appraisal of the Swoon Theory, a scholarly work engaging historical and evidential arguments surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Rev. Banks is especially passionate about supporting youth and families through seasons of transition, loss, and spiritual growth. His ministry approach emphasizes biblical discipleship, emotional wellness, community support, and the practical application of faith. He is actively developing initiatives that create safe, structured spaces for youth and parents to engage topics such as grief, identity, purpose, and spiritual maturity within a Christ-centered framework.

He is currently pursuing doctoral-level studies in applied apologetics and practical theology, with research interests that integrate theology, pastoral care, and lived Christian experience. Rev. Banks is married to his wife, Saskia, and together they are raising their six children. As a family, they are deeply committed to serving the local church and strengthening the next generation for faithful Christian living.
