“If we can help parents grow, read their Bibles, pray, and get connected with a small group. When Jesus Christ transforms their hearts there will be a natural outflow of teaching that we see in Deuteronomy 6.” – Chad Higgins

“One of the most effective ways for a student to know Jesus is if their mom and dad do. We need to prioritize working with the other staff in our church to reach the parents. ” – Chad Higgins


Chad Higgins lives in Stillwater Ok with his wife Martha of 13 years and their daughter Malia. He has served the church in Oklahoma since 2003 in roles such as youth pastor, small group pastor, and campus pastor.  Chad is the Co-founder of Youth Ministry Booster and Chad loves student ministry and seeing youth pastors connect and serve parents to disciple their kids. Chad’s hobbies include starting new hobbies. He once set his middle school’s unofficial record of most slices of pizza eaten at a CiCi’s pizza after a track meet.
