Leadership

Dave grew up in Hillsville and graduated from CCHS in 1989. (Go Cavs!)  He and Beth moved to Macon GA shortly after they were married. Within a few years, God began to open the doors of Ministry. Dave’s first ministry opportunity was as a Children’s Pastor. He led the Children’s Department for Christ Chapel in Macon for 7 years.  God began to unfold the rest of His plan and called Dave to Plant a church in Downtown Macon. This laid the groundwork for the Church he & Beth planted in Galax, VA in September of 2012.
Dave would tell you he is passionate about connecting people with Jesus. His favorite saying is, “You got one job. Tell somebody about Jesus.”

Beth has served in full-time ministry for over 20 years. Currently, she serves as our Associate Pastor & leads our volunteer teams. Her passion is connecting people to Christ & each other. Beth will tell you her greatest adventure & mission field is her family. She & Dave have been married for 32 years. Together they have Dianna, 21  and Luke, 24.

Chad has been at Christ Chapel since 2014. He leads and oversees all of the Worship Ministries for Christ Chapel. Chad has a passion for worship as well as building and investing into leaders.

As Youth Pastor, Hunter is passionate about helping students develop a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and grow into lifelong disciples. His mission is to make disciples who make disciples by teaching God’s Word, building authentic relationships, and equipping the next generation to live out their faith with confidence and purpose. He believes discipleship happens through intentional mentorship, biblical truth, and loving guidance that encourages students to grow in both faith and character. Outside of ministry, Hunter is an MBA graduate who enjoys traveling, playing golf, and spending time with family.

Jessica has served as children’s pastor since July 2024. Before stepping into ministry, she worked full time as a speech language pathologist for Carroll County Public Schools, helping students of all ages and ability levels develop their communication skills. Jessica has a passion for inclusion and believes all our students are capable of things beyond our wildest dreams. She loves all things bright and colorful, spending time with her Standard Poodle named Lucy, camping by the New River, and of course Dr. Pepper.

Cali began serving at our church as an intern in February 2024 and stepped into the full-time role of Children’s Ministry Assistant in January 2025. She’s passionate about helping kids grow in their faith, discover who they are in Christ, and learn what it means to truly worship. Cali brings creativity, joy, and just the right amount of controlled chaos to everything she does—because ministry with kids should never be boring.
When she’s not leading worship or serving our students, you can usually find her with an iced vanilla latte in one hand and a sweet treat in the other, probably laughing way too hard at her own jokes. She loves people, loves Jesus, and wouldn’t trade this calling for anything.

Julie has been serving as a ministry assistant since June of 2025. Before getting her start in ministry, she worked as a Real Estate Agent and Transaction Coordinator. She found her calling into ministry after completing a 3-month internship in South Africa, which led her to Christ Chapel. She has a passion for discipling middle and high schoolers while also helping to make sure Christ Chapel feels like home to everyone who comes on Thursdays and Sundays. When not at the church, you can find her drinking coffee, doing any & all outdoor activities, or reading.

Andrew began serving at Christ Chapel as an intern in September 2025 before joining the staff as Ministry Assistant in August 2026. Whether helping with the details, supporting ministry teams, or jumping in wherever needed, he enjoys serving others and helping ministry happen. When he's not at the church, Andrew can usually be found hiking the trails of Southwest Virginia, playing guitar, or enjoying an energy drink. He has a heart for people and believes that even the smallest acts of service can make a lasting impact for God's Kingdom.
