Chris was born to Curt and Carol DiMaso in 1977 while living in Milwaukee, WI. Throughout his childhood, faith would be a reoccurring theme. Growing up in a Catholic home, Chris' notion of faith revolved heavily around works and church attendance. The year he turned ten he began to serve his parish as an alter boy and found great fulfillment in service to the Lord.
Moving almost every other year took its toll on Chris and how he developed relationships and even how his faith developed. After leaving the church he had made the deepest connection, his faith and attendance began to diminish. By age thirteen Chris was an agnostic and wasn't professing any faith. This would be a way of life for many years.
In 1994 Chris began dating Sarah Wheeler, a pastor's kid who was friends with his sister. Sarah's parent's rule of dating was, "If you can go out on Saturday, you can be in church on Sunday." Attending church became a requisite for dating Sarah. After dating for two years Chris and Sarah were engaged and Chris would accept Jesus as his savior. The two were married January 4, 1997. They would go on to have three sons; Dayton, Asa, Jude.
Local service within their church ultimately led the couple to go to seminary. The call that had been placed on their life bloomed while in college. New ministry opportunities prepared them for their first pastorate in Farmington Hills, MI in the summer of 2004. They would serve faithfully for five years in the appointment and grew their family to include daughter Ruby.
November 2009 the DiMaso family was ripped a part when Chris left his family and ministry for an affair. Chris would leave his family in Michigan and move to Kansas City to try and rebuild his life. June 10, 2010 Chris and Sarah were officially divorced. Sarah and the children moved to the Kansas City area to try and put their lives together and maintain a semblance of a family. Chris and Sarah began dating again and rekindled their love for one another. Through counseling and much prayer the couple was reunited and on June 10, 2011 they were married...again.
Today Chris and Sarah live with their four children in the Kansas City suburb of Blue Springs. The family has been made whole again and the damage has been repaired. They attend Englewood Church in Independence and have found places of ministry.
