About Chad
  • Education: B.S. in Communication from Milligan College, TN (2001)
  • Experience: Started in the Ministry right after college at CornerStone in Las Vegas, as the multimedia director in charge of video, web multimedia stuff. At the same time I began working with the Youth Program, and God slowly moved me into the place of Youth Pastor in 2004, after obtaining my Pastor’s License through The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. Served as Sr. Pastor at Faith Fellowship in Pahrump, NV since 2006-2010. In 2011 I began my role as the NextGen Coordinator for the Heartland District of the Foursquare Church, and in 2017 I led a team to plant Illuminate Church in Indianapolis, IN.
  • Comment to those looking at my sermons: My Pastor and Mentor Greg Massanari once told me that when it comes to teaching God’s word, there is no ownership because it originally came from God. So what I have, so do you. In fact, this site has been a tremendous resource for me, and where ever I have gotten material, I have acknowledged the original author. I trust you will do the same, and pray that God will use it all for His Glory!
  • Family: Wife - Lindsay, 3 kids Addi, Elli & Caedmon
