Chad holds both an undergraduate degree in education and a master’s degree in business administration from LeTourneau University in Longview, TX. While in college, Chad worked with youth, whether it was teaching Sunday school, mission events, or helping youth through confirmation.

Chad started as an Associate Student Ministries Director in November 2016 and is embracing the opportunity to learn and grow as a youth leader every single day. Chad’s job responsibilities at Dayspring include leadership of the youth for weekly student ministries, encouraging youth to participate and understand the importance of mission and service in their daily lives, and most importantly helping our youth grow in both knowledge of Jesus Christ, as well as spiritual maturity, so that the youth of Dayspring may be better equipped to serve and empower the loved starved culture inside and outside the walls of this church as young disciples of Christ.
