Chad has been in a Southern Baptist church since before he was born. While he identifies as a Southern Baptist because that’s who he believes holds closest to scripture, Chad is first and foremost a follower of CHRIST.
Being ordained in ministry for over 24 years, Chad has served as youth and missions pastor, executive pastor and senior pastor in three churches. In every position, he has always promoted unity in the kingdom of Christ, working with other churches in the association as well as involving other denominations to further God’s kingdom. Chad’s vision for the Tallapoosa Baptist Association is God’s vision because any other vision is not eternal. That vision is to see every Baptist church loving God and loving their neighbors as they go about making disciples.
Chad is married to his best friend and sweetheart. They have 2 biological children who are married and they currently have 4 grandchildren. Chad and his wife have many sons and daughters from ministry who are near and dear to their heart as well.
Chad loves the outdoors, traveling, cooking and eating. His passion is telling others about his JESUS. His bucket list includes knocking a grizzly aside and swiping a salmon from the river and preaching on all 7 continents (he has one to go if you don’t include Antarctica, hahahaha).
His prayer is for you to know JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR and to be used for the glory of GOD!
