Chase Thompson

Chase A. Thompson is a writer, pastor, college professor, father, husband and adventurer from Birmingham, Alabama. There are far too many boring preachers and teachers, which is a tragedy, because Jesus and the Bible are so INTERESTING! His books seek to preserve the wonder and power of the Word of God in a way that is faithful, encouraging and challenging.

Chase and his wife Janet have five children. He graduated from Samford in 1994 with degrees in History and Philosophy. Following that, He earned an M.Div and another Master's degree, splitting time between Beeson Divinity School, Liberty Theological Seminary and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He has been involved in pastoral ministry for over 25 years.

He first served as a junior high youth minister at Hilldale Baptist church in Birmingham. He has served several churches in the South in a variety of roles: Senior pastor, Church planter, Youth Pastor, Teaching Pastor, and even Children’s pastor. He is currently the pastor of Agape Baptist in Pinson (Northeast Birmingham, Alabama) and has been in that role since February of 2008. He has taught Bible and history classes as an adjunct college professor since 2012.
