David Chastain

I am very honored and humbled to be an Elder of The CALL Community Church. As a servant of this church and our church community, I hope to help provide guidance and support to our leadership team and our church body. I strongly endorse our Vision and Mission for this church, and I am excited to be a part of our growing church body and trusting God for His faithfulness.

​

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior at the young age of 12 and was raised in a Christian home.  In my teen years I was very involved in various home ministry studies and some outreach ministry.  During this time, I met my high school sweetheart Cindy, who became my lovely wife. God has also blessed us with three wonderful children and 3 amazing granddaughters. During our parenting years, Cindy and I were involved in many Church home groups, bible studies and bible programs. We have been attending Bible churches since 1981, primarily to learn the truth of God's word and apply and share His principals, and to create a Godly foundation for ours and our children's lives. 

​

God place a desire for music on me at an early age. I began playing snare drum in the sixth grade. In Junior High school I played snare drum in the school orchestra and during High school, I played snare drum in the orchestra and marching band for 3 years. In the 80's I learned to play guitar and actively became involved in Christian music ministry, playing guitar and singing for various youth programs and occasionally at Sunday morning worship for seventeen years. After relocating to The Woodlands, Texas in 1998 I joined the Worship Team at Faith Bible Church as a drummer and served in that capacity for ten years. Other Christian music ministries as a drummer included "Sinners and Saints", Faith Bible Church, Community Baptist Church, The Woodlands Bible Church, and now The CALL Community Church, all for over 26 years of Contemporary Christian music ministry.

 

I also have had a wonderful career as a Petroleum Exploration Geologist in the Oil & Gas industry for over 35 years.  I began my career in 1981 working for Cities Service Company followed by Texas Oil and Gas Corporation, both located in Jackson, Mississippi. In 1986 I formed Petron Exploration Corporation and served as President and Chief Geologist and also Vice President of Energy Managment operating company. In 1998 I relocated to Houston Texas and continued my Oil & Gas career in various Exploration and New Ventures capacities with Fina/Total, Newfield Exploration, and Nobel Energy until retiring in 2015.
