Chad and Erin met in Daytona Beach, FL in 2002 in a very unexpected place. Their lives were filled with hurt from years of brokenness and disappointment. But what the enemy meant for evil, God has made good. When God brought Chad and Erin together, it was the beginning of a transformation that would change the trajectory of their lives. God began to heal all the broken places in their hearts, and in June of 2007, Chad and Erin were married.

 

In late 2008, Chad and Erin stepped into full time ministry as worship pastors in the local church.  During this time, God began to cultivate and prepare them for the calling God placed on their lives. After 13 plus years of full time ministry serving as worship pastors and directors of a leadership internship program, God closed the door on that chapter of their lives to prepare them for what was next.

​

In early 2021, God began to speak to them both about planting a church in their hometown of Lake City, FL. This was not something they were expecting, but knew that it was God ordained. In the spring of 2021, Chad and Erin began preparing and getting things in order to announce the plant of Wellspring Church.

 

God has been doing a mighty work and has continually blessed every step of faith that they have made as they engage this new journey of their lives.

​

Their heart for the community is to see people have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ, equip the Body of Christ for His service, empower believers to walk out the purpose of their lives, and engage a lost people, leading them into the loving arms of our Savior.
