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 to what happens to us after death. His family was casually involved in the occult. He had friends among the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and in Roman Catholicism. He looked into every religious option he could find. However, it was the result of hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ at a Protestant church, to which he was invited by a friend, that his eyes were opened to see the love of God in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He met Teresa, who became his wife, in his first year of college. They have two children, a son in-law, and a grandson. Compelled by the love of Christ, he went to seminary, entered pastoral ministry, planted a church (Sovereign Grace Church), and helped found a missionary training agency (Radius International). He is presently leading his church into the URCNA after spending the greater part of his ministry as a Baptist.
