Jerad Joslin • Lead Minister
About Jerad In 2021, my wife, Kassie, and I felt God pointing us back to the city where we grew up. Part of it was to be closer to family but more immediately doors continued to open for Kassie to open a bakery in Edmond with her brother. While opening a small business like this was many months away, we decided to take a leap of faith and move to OKC, trusting God would lead us from there. While all our belongings were still in a U-Haul truck, the Elders at CHCC invited me to lunch and said, “Let’s see what God might be up to!” Through that season of life through to today, God’s hand has led us and CHCC on a great journey of provision, healing, and growth, and we are just honored to be a part of it, however God sees fit.
I was born 2 miles from CHCC here in OKC at Deaconess Hospital on Easter Sunday of 1978. After spending my elementary years in Chickasha, OK, my middle school and high school years in OKC, I graduated from PC West in 1996. In 2000, I received by Bachelor of Biblical Literature from Ozark Christian College, and in 2020, I received my Master of Leadership in Ministry degree from Hope International University (formerly Pacific Christian College & Seminary) in California.
