Dr. Chad Payne

Hi. Iā€™m Chad.

Thanks for dropping by my website. My goal to develop this little corner of the web into a resource for pastors, students, and basically anyone who desires a close relationship with Christ and to make a difference in the world around them.

While things are coming together, here are a few quick facts about me:

  • I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, Kim, and we have two grown children.

  • I love the local church, and I have more than 24 years of experience as a lead pastor.

  • I completed my Doctorate of Ministry at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri. My masters and bachelors degrees are from Indiana Wesleyan University and Southeastern University, respectively.

  • I want to help others mature in their faith and become spiritually, physically, and emotionally healthy. I am especially passionate about helping other ministers in this way so they can enjoy long and effective ministries.

  • I care deeply about living a compassionate life, serving the poor, marginalized, and hurting.

  • I celebrate the diversity God has created in the world, and am grateful for the opportunity to build relationships across racial, ethnic, and cultural lines.

  • I enjoy science fiction and anything made by Apple. I am also a certifiable coffee snob.

I look forward to connecting with you!
