As a founding member and lead singer of the Christian band Scarecrow and Tinmen (S&T), Chris Padgett has been with this band for seven years - since its beginnings. God has used S&T in awesome ways as they have toured around the country playing for the Lord.

At each of these concerts, Chris and the rest of the band had an incredible opportunity to reach out to the crowd who came to their concerts. Seeing lives changed because of how God used their music was exciting for the band. This is something that Chris had always dreamed of, being able to reach out to the crowd with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Everyday, Chris says that he is reminded over and over again of how the Christian life is about continual surrender to what God wants of him. It has become clear to Chris that God has called him to not only musical ministry, but also a ministry of speaking where Chris can freely share his heart on issues that people young and old are dying to hear about.

Without being in the confines of a "concert," Chris has the freedom to go beyond music and reach out to the audience by just being open and vulnerable about his life, struggles, and the growth he continues to experience as a Believer and hopes that everyone present will experience just as he has.

Combine Chris Padgett's experience in the Christian music industry with an often unparralled, deep passion for Christ and the outcome is a very dynamic ministry in which God changes many lives.

It is Chris' desire to let God use him in whatever way He sees fit, no matter the cost. With this in mind, it is obvious that God will take and use every part of Chris' life and use it for His glory. And that is one incredible experience, to be used by God.

Chris currently resides in Steubenville, Ohio with his wife Linda and his six children where he is working towards earning his M.A. in Theology and Christian Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville. From his home base in Steubenville, Chris is available to fly anywhere to engage in his speaking/concert apostolate.
