Equipped with a B.A. in psychology and a minor in business administration, Chris underwent extensive training in trauma-informed counseling, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), veteran's affairs, and community advocacy. During his trauma training, Chris found his calling, leading him to his present vocation.

Besides his roles with NCP, Chris is a respected figure in the community, serving as a faith leader and a successful business owner. Together with his wife Denise, they are proud parents to six wonderful children, one of whom is an active-duty member of the U.S. Army. At the same time, another pursues post-graduate studies in educational leadership at the University of Florida.

Christopher Chambliss, the founding President/CEO of the Nehemiah Community Project (NCP), has always been influenced by his exceptional parents who were entrepreneurs and esteemed faith leaders. Their powerful example taught him the essence of building communities. Chris understands that individuals experiencing trauma or intense stress often struggle, and NCP was born out of a desire to provide guidance, facilitating their journey toward triumph and resilience.

Recognizing that trauma has been a long-standing contributor to societal decay, NCP brings forth authentic, impactful, and evidence-based approaches to empower those who seek to overcome adversity. Understanding that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient, NCP emphasizes the importance of empathy and comprehension when entrusted with an individual's well-being. By fostering collaboration and establishing meaningful partnerships, NCP serves as a bridge between various service providers, working holistically to address the diverse needs of the community.
