Chad Golden

Chad Golden (of Chats with Chad fame) came to IBC initially as a Pastoral Resident but officially joined staff in 2022 as Engagement Pastor. Chad, with the help of an amazing group of deacons and hospitality volunteers, works to ensure that everyone who walks through IBC's doors feels seen, known, loved, and cared for. Born and raised in Texas, Chad currently lives in Dallas with his wife Rene and their dog Jackson. Chad is known by his coworkers as the king of obscure sports, but his favorites are disc golf and pickleball. He can also be found reading nerdy books or honing his coffee-making skills. Chad’s prayer for IBC is that we would continually point both our congregation and our community toward Jesus.

Chad could talk forever about: coffee, Jesus, theology
