Chauncey and Jessie

We want you to know that we joined First Christian Church with a desire to serve not only the members of the church, but also the community.  Jessie and I have been married over twenty-six years.  During that time we have come to realize that ministry is something we do together.  We are here to serve you, but we can only do that if you are willing to let us know what is needed and how we can work together.

Chauncey began his ministerial studies at Lincoln Christian College.  He received the B.A. degree in Christian Education in 1975.  He continued his education at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisville, KY), being awarded the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) in 1978, Chauncey stayed an additional year to pursue graduate studies in the areas of Christian Ethics and New Testament Theology.
