Speaker, RYAC 2026
Rev. Chad Vegas
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 about what happens after death. It was hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ at a Protestant church, where a friend had invited him, that opened his eyes to the love of God in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Compelled by the love of Christ, he went to seminary, entered pastoral ministry, planted Sovereign Grace Church and helped found the missionary training agency Radius International. After most of his ministry as a Baptist, he is leading his church into a Reformed denomination. He and his wife Teresa have two children, a son-in-law and a grandson.
