Damian Dorta Isturiz

CREATIVE ARTS DIRECTOR

Damian joined the Vision family in September of 2022.  He has been serving as a church musician since he was in 9th Grade. From Acoustic Guitar to drums, and anywhere in between, Damian has learned to adapt to different Sunday Morning circumstances to make sure that Worship is at the center of his heart. Damian has worked with various aspects of the church in many different positions but his heart has always been to lead people into worship.

Damian graduated from Appalachian State University and his two main passions are music and sports. His best friends are his wife Miranda, his dog Odie, and his cat Beans. Damian is passionate about meeting people and talking about almost anything.

Chris Pratt

LEAD Pastor

Pastor Chris believes God has called him to mobilize a movement of believers to live beyond themselves and reach the world for Christ.  After graduating from Chowan University with a business degree, God opened the path for Chris to serve in Christian Education.  For the next 13 years, Chris served as a teacher, coach, Athletic Director, and Principal.  

In 2014, Chris' heart broke for the local church and God opened the door for him to begin serving the next four years on staff at a church, while obtaining his Master's Degree from Bible Baptist Seminary.  God began birthing a desire to pastor a life-giving church and in 2018, he answered that call and became the lead pastor at Vision.

He and his wife, Mandy, married in 2006 and they have one amazing daughter named Lily.   Pastor Chris loves coffee, candy, anything Apple makes, NC State, the Carolina Hurricanes, escape rooms and exists to point people to life in Jesus Christ.
