This led to his first book, Echoes of a Rainbow Song (1996 and, second edition, 1999).He was ordained in 1997 in St Paul's Cathedral by the Bishop of London, and served his curacy in the Parish of Friern Barnet. During his time there he was named one of the top ten preachers of the year in The Times 1999 Preacher of the Year competition.In North London he met and married his wife Mary Chivers and they had their first son Dominic (born 1999) before moving to Cape Town where Canon Chivers took up an appointment as Canon Precentor of St. George's Cathedral, Cape Town. This appointment saw him oversee the cathedral's liturgy, music and outreach programmes.

He wrote a guidebook to Blackburn Cathedral for Scala Publications which was published in 2010, the year in which Fully Alive (Pretext Publishing) appeared. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams commended the book, saying: "These are wonderfully crafted reflections, clear, light-touch, sometimes poignant, full of insight and unexpected revelations. Chris Chivers brings together all sorts of experiences, as priest and parent, thinker and commentator, experiences from the United Kingdom and South Africa and elsewhere, in a collection that has great inner coherence, and makes Christian discipleship deeply attractive as well as reminding at least one reader of the challenges of discipleship that have still to be met."Appointed a Trustee of USPG: Anglicans in World Mission in 2005 he became the Vice Chair of Trustees in 2011 and in 2012 was elected Chair of the Trustees of what is now known as Us.
