President :: Chad L. Hambrick
Chad Hambrick has been serving the body of Christ for over 16 years in several diverse church settings. God has equipped Chad to encourage and equip ministers, leadership teams, parents and students.
He is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and an ordained minister. Chad’s life experience and undergraduate study in counseling has given him the insight needed to minister to hurting people and equip those who care for others.
