Kris was born in Fairfield, IL, on November 18, 1972, the younger son of Ken & Pat. After Kris' parents divorced, his mom met & married a man (Rick Zupan), who was a tremendous influence in Kris' life, but who also was an alcoholic. The situation was tense until one night Rick went to a revival service at First Apostolic Church in Centralia, IL. It was there that he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was completely delivered. It would not be long until the entire family would follow.

In March of 1984, Kris was baptized in Jesus' name after an awesome Sunday School lesson taught by Bro. Andy Smith. Then, the night that would forever change his life...October 10, 1984, Kris & his brother Ken were filled with the Holy Ghost at the exact same time. The two Dillingham boys would forever be linked together as spiritual twins.

After high school, Kris attended Indiana Bible College from 1991-1994 receiving an Associates Degree in Theology. It was also during his time at IBC that Kris somehow captured the heart of his would-be wife, Jen. (Clearly, he married way up...another example of God's miraculous power.) Kris felt a tremendous burden for home missions, but was unsure of his direction. He was asked by his future father-in-law, Pastor D.L. Rogers, to come and assist in the newly started church in Champaign-Urbana, IL. For 12 years, Kris served as Assistant/Associate Pastor and gained a wealth of knowledge.

In April of 2006, the Dillingham's resigned as Associate Pastor to pursue what they felt was the direction of God. They entered the evangelistic field full time and it has been quite a ride.

Kris & Jen have been married since December 10, 1994, and are blessed with three incredible children: Rhett, Reece and Ashlyn. They currently base their ministry out of Apostolic Life in Urbana and reside in nearby St. Joseph.
