Pastor Andy

Greetings! Let me introduce myself and my ministry to you.

My name is Pastor Andy Chase. I am married & my marriage to my wife is a 30 year passionate blessing.We have 4 children who are recently out of college and into their careers. We love them and are excited at their futures for Christ. We live in western NY in a small house in Rochester about an hour from Niagara Falls.
Besides being an ordained Pastor for 25 years and serving as a Pastor and Evangelist, I am still the “Chief of All sinners” and without the Grace of God I have no value in life. I view myself as the least of any Christians. I am not into titles and I do not like drawing attention to myself. Even writing this introduction feels too prideful.

 God has graciously humbled my heart through the years to see that I am just a man who puts my Lord, the Bible and my Faith above any religion, church, denomination or any group.

My focus is on simple Bible based Christianity, with a teaching of the whole Word of God.

 I have always followed a Luke 14 vision from God to reach out and invite those with left outside of the Church because of disabilities, addictions, sickness or those hurting, poor or lonely, to invite them to know God and to be a part of a Christ loving family.

People have told me that my messages are popular and that if I preached at big churches across the land, I could make sizable money. My messages have been recorded for 13 years and have been sent in CDs all over the world.

I disregard (and dislike) those statements of me being special in any way, as I rather see myself as just a man who owes Jesus everything for His sacrifice for me.
My Lord has shown me that He wants me to use the gift of teaching and share His love, His Cross, Salvation and Grace with Churches that rarely get offers of a free teaching or prayer meeting.

As a Pastor, after seven years of rapid growth, I stepped down from leading the church I started in my basement (then grew into a building) because of a desire to spend more time with my wife and four children. I also am employed as a consultant to the Railroad industry. I also volunteer with Special Olympics.

 Doing all of this for 30 years, I would only see my family a few days before preaching at Church on Sunday and then having to leave again by Monday to travel. As I traveled for work I spoke when I could on Sundays and Midweek at Church services and mens meetings across the country.
As I resigned as Pastor of the Church I started, I began to take my primary ministry, my family with me to feed the homeless and to have Bible studies in local Nursing Homes. I requested to visit & focused on the people who had no visitors, no money and no friends. I developed relationships, led people to the Lord, did Baptisms in the facilities and started a group Bible study. During this time I also stayed in contact with the people of the Church I started (Jesus Chapel) for prayer.

This continued until the time my children moved out of our home and into their own careers & homes. I then accepted an invitation to become senior pastor of a struggling Baptist church with just seven attending members. In two years that attendance increased very wonderfully. We adopted a more open non denominational type atmosphere. The spiritual growth of the Church was terrific to be a part of. We hosted a local evangelistic crusade, food outreach, college outreach and a secondary church outreach I named “The Misfits Church.” During this time God moved mightily on my heart to begin traveling to visit churches again. But this time to focus on Churches who are often looked over by other Ministers due to their lack of size or money. That grieves my heart.
 
I am also very passionate about prayer and will set up special gatherings for all christians in an area to freely come & simply pray.

As I travel, my teaching focuses much on the privilege of every believer to have a surrendered life to Jesus and with that enjoying a real, intimate & personal relationship with Him.  One of my greatest joys is teaching/discipling Christians to know & follow Jesus in a closer and deeper way. I believe in not just knowing things about the Word of God but even more in knowing the God who wrote the Word.

Across the years I have prayed with hundreds of people for their Salvation in Christ and have Water Baptized more people then I can remember.

The various churches i have been blessed to share a message with throughout America, include Baptist, Presbyterian, Assemblies, Calvary Chapel and others Churches. I have taught at Men’s Conferences, missions and Bible Colleges.

One aspect of my ministry that is unique, is that per the will of God, I do not ask or require any money/funding, expenses or traveling cost.
I have no agenda, except for sharing the Gospel and  encouraging people to love God with all of their heart, mind, soul and strength and to love others.
> As I mentioned, everything I offer is for free.
> The Lord has paid my cost and expenses.
My reward is not money but my reward is obedience, humility & service to my Lord & Savior - Jesus Christ.

Please remember me in your prayers and feel free to let me know if your Church would like a free Sunday or Midweek teaching or a beautiful Prayer meeting.

God Bless you.
Pastor Andy
