Chase Durham

Chase was pursuing a career in professional baseball, but God had bigger plans for his life. He wrestled with his calling to pastoral ministry for three years until God used Colossians 1:28 to confirm the calling. Colossians 1:28 says, "Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ."

Since 2014, Chase has been serving at Cottonwood Creek Church in the Dallas, Texas, area. God has given Chase a vision that is bigger than one local church. It is a desire to unite the body of Christ in order to accelerate the Great Commission. Therefore, besides his pastoral responsibilities at Cottonwood Creek, he also works to collaborate with other local churches to present every student in every school with an opportunity to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Chase is married to Kendall, and they have three children. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and a Master of Arts in Discipleship, both from Dallas Baptist University. He is currently a doctoral candidate in pursuit of his PhD in Leadership from Dallas Baptist University. When he is not pastoring or working towards his PhD, he loves competing in Olympic weightlifting, playing with his kids, and reading books.
