I, Chad Braley, began attending Trinity Baptist College in the fall of 2001. College was definitely a great time in my life. I enjoyed all the service opportunities that Trinity Baptist Church allowed me to participate in while receiving an outstanding education.
After marrying my wife, Laura Braley, also a graduate from Trinity, I graduated in 2005 and headed off to start my first year in full-time Christian service! First Baptist Church in Caldwell, NJ is where our ministry adventures began. I forever will  be grateful for Pastor David Bulka and the people of First Baptist for welcoming me as their youth pastor. We served there for a little over 2 years and truly learned the benefits of loving and serving people.
In October of 2007, the Lord chose to move my wife and me back to serve in our home church of First Baptist Church in Milford, OH, where we still are currently, serving under Pastor William Duttry. God has blessed us in numerous ways over the past 5 years, including granting our desire to become parents. Our daughter, Alivia-Grace, was born in January 2009 and has increased our love and gratitude to the Lord for His answered prayers!
God has allowed me to serve in many different capacities, including being the Senior High Youth Pastor, and I am now currently the Outreach Pastor. My most recent endeavor has been directing a faith-based addiction program known as Reformers Unanimous. We desire to reach out to the addicted in our community and do as 2 Timothy 2:25-26 states, "In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." We teach each student at Reformers Unanimous to walk with God and see the Lord outwardly and inwardly transform their lives to bring honor and glory to God! My wife and I have seen the Lord take His Word and change the lives of many people in this program, and have found great joy in serving Him in this ministry!
There is much more to do! I have been in the ministry now for 7 years, and I pray that the Lord will allow me to continue to serve him faithfully for many more years to come!
