Chad Palao
Director of Children’s Ministry
Chad has been blessed to work with kids from 1st-6th grade. He has been happily married for 20+ years to his wife Lynda and they have three children. Chad & his family have been attending Grace for over 10 years, and Chad also serves as a Deacon.
Chad came to know Christ at the age of 13 at Vacation Bible school. He was born and raised in Slidell, and graduated in 2000 from Northshore HIgh School. He has been a full time youth minister as well as Bi-vocational. Along with the children’s ministry at Grace, He is the Carpentry Teacher at Slidell High school. Chad loves this arrangement because it allows him to reach and minister to kids of a variety of ages – from five to eighteen. He truly feels the Lord has blessed him in the ways he is able to reach the masses with the Gospel. Grace Memorial has been more than just a church for Chad and his family, this body of believers IS his family.
