Hi, my name is Chad. I live in Batesville, Arkansas. I am a local church pastor at Compass Church on an incredible team of Jesus loving pastors and ministers. I also have the privilege to be the chaplian for White River Medical Center and lead a great pastoral care team for the hospital. This year, my wife and I are exploring the potential of becoming church planters in partnership with NAMB and the ABSC. We love seeing people find their joy in Jesus and their spiritual family in the local church.

Some days you will find me making pottery and teaching others how to throw on the wheel. Other days you might find Julie and I hiking and taking photos in the place we love dearly. We love the natural state from the state parks to the National Forrest.

Check out some of our favorite spots by clicking on our gallery of photos and be encouraged as you read my “can I encourage you” devotionals.
