Rev. Chad Vegas
Sovereign Grace Church, Bakersfield, California
Rev. Chad Vegas was born in Bakersfield, California, to unbelieving parents. After his father, a police officer, was killed in the line of duty, he began searching for answers about what happens after death, and it was hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ at a Protestant church, where a friend had invited him, that opened his eyes to the love of God in Christ. Compelled by that love, he went to seminary, entered pastoral ministry, planted Sovereign Grace Church and helped found the missionary training agency Radius International. He is now a minister in the United Reformed Churches in North America, and Sovereign Grace Church has been approved for membership in the URCNA. He and his wife Teresa have two children, a son-in-law and a grandson.
