    Christopher Reeves – Choral Director

    Born in 1987, Christopher Reeves has devoted his life to sacred music and liturgical service. In addition to his long-standing work within the Church, he directed the choir for the score of the feature film EL TONTO POR CRISTO, bringing his deep knowledge of Orthodox tradition into a cinematic context. Tonsured a reader in 2006 at St. Seraphim’s Cathedral, Christopher’s journey into church music began at the age of 12, and by 16, he was directing choirs. This early start laid the foundation for a career dedicated to blending musical excellence with spiritual devotion. After earning a B.A. in Religion from Pennsylvania State University in 2009, Christopher went on to serve for nine years as choir director at Holy Trinity in State College, PA, and later at St. Gregory of Nyssa in Columbus, OH, for seven years. These roles allowed him to refine his leadership style and foster vibrant musical communities within the Church. Currently, Christopher serves as the Director of Music at St. Seraphim’s Cathedral, where he oversees the main Cathedral Choir and manages four additional ensembles: the Slavonic Choir, Men’s Choir, Women’s Choir, and Youth Choir. In addition to directing, his responsibilities include guiding the chanting and reading programs, ensuring the continuation of Orthodox liturgical traditions. Christopher’s work reflects a commitment to creating an environment where sacred music flourishes, offering both inspiration and spiritual enrichment to those who participate and listen. His leadership emphasizes the transformative power of music as a vital aspect of worship and community.

    Jordan Walker Ross - Actor

    Jordan Walker Ross began acting at the age of 6, playing Tiny Tim in a community theater production of 'A Christmas Carol'. After that, Jordan performed in over 40 professional productions throughout Texas, as well as California. In his teens, Jordan shifted gears and began focusing on film/television, going on to appear in 'Walker Texas Ranger', Comedy Central's 'Reno 911', Nickelodeon’s 'Just Jordan' and several independent films. In 2018, Jordan Ross was cast in season 1 of 'The Chosen', in the role of Little James. The series is now in production for season 5 (of 7 planned seasons) and has garnered over 250 million viewers worldwide. The success of The Chosen has led to other projects for Jordan, such as '1883' - the prequel to Paramount’s 'Yellowstone', 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and the upcoming film 'Rise & Shine', based on the book, ‘Remembering Terri’. Jordan Ross is also a screenwriter with several projects in various stages of development, as well as a host for his podcast, 'What's Your Limp?'. Jordan underwent over half a dozen major surgeries before the age of 10, as well as countless hospital stays due to severe asthma. His disabilities presented some issues as an actor. Jordan lost out on roles because his limp was too noticeable and even cut out/replaced from projects for the same reason. On top of that, Jordan experienced vicious bullying in high school. However, it was his love for acting that motivated Jordan to keep pushing forward. Now, playing a character with a disability on 'The Chosen', Jordan is using his platform to educate others on disabilities, bullying & mental health. Jordan travels to schools, churches, and other events to promote his message of vulnerability and self-acceptance. Jordan most recently starred in Josh David Jordan's upcoming feature film, 'El Tonto Por Cristo.'
