Rev. Chase McKenzie

     If I had to describe myself in three words they would be- God, Family, and College Football.  God always comes first in my life. All good things that have occurred in my life are all made possible because of our lord. I have a missional heart and believe that to live like Jesus we must be of service to those that need it. My goal is to be out in the community as much as possible to show people how great our God is and to help make more followers of Jesus.

     After high school I joined the U.S. Army. When I came home in 2020 I attended and became a member at Christ UMC’s South Campus, The Point. While there, my wife and I started working with the youth and I started to feel God tugging on my heart to share the word. After a few years of being mentored and taking various courses I became a licensed local pastor in 2023.

      My wife is Megan. Together we have a beautiful, silly, shy (but sweet) daughter, Lena Mae. She will be two in September and she is a GREAT joy in our lives. We all live in Kettering and also have three dogs- if it sounds chaotic- it kinda is, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything. We love God, serving our community, being outdoors, and Ohio State Football. I cannot wait to meet you all and start this exciting journey. Blessings, Chase McKenzie
