A 2014 Forbes Magazine feature named being a spiritual leader as #5 on their 9 Toughest Leadership Roles. “Being a pastor is like death by a thousand paper cuts,” says Rev. Dr. Ken Fong, senior pastor at Evergreen Baptist Church in Rosemead, California and a program director at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. “You’re scrutinized and criticized from top to bottom, stem to stern. You work for an invisible, perfect Boss, and you’re supposed to lead a ragtag gaggle of volunteers towards God's coming future. It's like herding cats, but harder.”
Our guests today have served in a variety of ministerial roles, not the least of which is their most recent church-planting journey, during their more than two decades of ministry. Chad & Jennifer Stafford have not only survived the process but are here to share their own personal victories and defeats with us as they continue to grow and cultivate disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon graduating from Central Bible College (Springfield, MO), Chad & Jennifer Stafford have been in full-time ministry for over 20 years having served in almost every area of church work.
Chad grew up in Daphne, Alabama and played football and baseball at Daphne High School. He was a youth pastor in Daphne from 1999-2004 where the youth ministry became recognized as one of the largest in the nation. He served as a football coach, baseball coach, and chaplain at Daphne High School as he and Jennifer poured their lives into the Eastern Shore community.
Following their time in Daphne, Chad and Jennifer served as Executive Pastors in south Atlanta, Georgia and then Lead Pastors in Bentonville, Arkansas.
They returned to Daphne in 2009 and launched Coastal Church in January 2010.
On October 12, 2007, Chad & Jennifer welcomed their son, Evan Charles Stafford.
The Staffords feel called by God to spend the rest of their lives on the Eastern Shore. Coastal Church is the church they want to pastor and Daphne is where they want to live and raise Evan. "When you’ve been all around the world, there is only one place left that you want to go. Home."
