Jeff came to Winn’s in August of 2003 after the Lord called him into full-time ministry.  Prior to that Jeff worked for 24 years in the oil and gas industry where he held numerous petroleum engineering and management positions.  His longest tenure (9 years) was at Dominion Resources right here in Richmond, Virginia, where he spent his last 4 years there as Vice President of Oil and Gas Operations.  God is using his spiritual gifts of administration and leadership, along with the skills he acquired in business, to assist Pastor Brauer in managing a vibrant, growing church. 

Jeff’s call into ministry began in the year 2000 when at that point he began to take on various leadership positions at Grove Avenue Baptist Church.  He and his family moved to Texas in 2001 where God finalized his calling.  Through various pastors in Texas and Virginia and the leadership at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Spring, Texas his calling was affirmed and he was ordained into the gospel ministry. Jeff has a Master of Arts in Religion degree from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary.

He was married on June 4, 1977 to Cheryl Chadwick, who serves as the Director of Children’s Ministries here at Winn’s.  They have two children, Jeffrey and Keith a daughter in law, Sarah and one granddaughter Adeline.  One of Jeff’s favorite Scriptures is Psalm 37:4-5: “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”  It is special to him because Jeff’s heartfelt desire for many years was to be in full-time ministry and the Lord has brought that to pass.
