Pastor Chad began his ministry at Clemson University serving in the leadership of FCA. Their weekly meetings averaged over 800 students and at one of those meetings he met his wife, Melissa.

After marrying, they served the church in various capacities, and in 1995 took their first position as Youth Pastors at Dacusville Church of God. After 4½ years of youth ministry, they started a street ministry in West Greenville.

On September 11, 2001 they accepted a pastorate position at the Cedar Rock Church of God, where they served for 3½ years. That congregation came with them in February of 2005 when they accepted the Senior Pastor position here at Dacusville Church of God, now LIFEchurch.

Pastors Chad and Melissa are blessed with four wonderful children; Ashleigh, Andrew, Mary Beth, and Caroline.
