Senior Minister

Chad, his lovely wife Cheryl, and their two children, Paige and Ian, came to Franklin Avenue Christian Church in May of 2000 after a successful ministry at the Christian Church in Galt, MO. He is a graduate of Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, MO. with a Bachelor of Science degree in Ministry.

Chad's passion for God's church has lead him toward strong Bible preaching and teaching within the church. "People deserve the truth, not a washed-down version just to make things a little more comfortable. If we are to live as 'instruments of righteousness' (Romans 6), we must have a clear understanding how to carry this out."

While strongly dedicated to the ministry in which God called him, Chad believes his greater priority is to his family. "What makes you think they will believe you across the world if they won't believe you across the hall?"
