Camp Pastor

Chad Poe

Chad preaches God’s Word through story telling, media, and visual experience. As a result, the Scripture is clearly presented in order for people of all ages to examine and apply Biblical truth to their everyday walks of life. As someone not simply called to speak, Chad believes in the importance of relationship and seeks to get to know people when he is away from the stage. Ultimately, Chad hopes to see people moved into a deeper relationship with Christ. In turn, they will live lives of action that impact their world.

Chad is originally from Chattanooga, TN. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where he received a degree in Secondary Education. Following college, he attended Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, TX where he received a Masters of Divinity. After graduating seminary, God called Chad to a life of itinerant ministry.

Chad started Through-line Cohort in 2021 to help bible communicators efficiently and effectively tell the story of Jesus. Chad and his wife, Hope, live in Lake Jackson, TX with their sons (Shepherd, Charlie, and Alder) and daughter (Magnolia Bea). He is an avid reader and infrequent visitor to the gym. He serves as Teaching Pastor at Grace Bible Church in Clute, TX.

Worship Leader

Jarod Espy

Jarod is a worship leader and songwriter with a heart for the local church. He strives to lead his own congregation in songs that are firmly rooted in Scripture. His heart is to see them grasp the power of God’s Word and to see them respond in worship with that foundation. As a songwriter, Jarod believes our songs of worship should be saturated in the Word, edifying for the Church as well as glorifying to the Lord, much like many of the songs and hymns of faith throughout the centuries. Jarod leads his local congregation weekly in Houston, TX, as well as travels to events and conferences throughout the year. He has written songs such as “Kingdom’s Cause” and “Send Us To The Nations.” For more information on Jarod please visit www.jarodespy.com.
