Chap Bettis

Chap Bettis is the author of The Disciple-Making Parent: Raising Your Children to Love and Follow Jesus Christ.

He and his wife Sharon, have four adult children and reside in Rhode Island.

As a pastor in New England for the past 25 years, Chap understands both the word of God and the everyday issues of family life. In addition, Chap grew up in a Christian home and wrestled with questions about the faith. He also wrote Managing Your Household Well, Launch, The Donut Date Journal, Parenting with Confidence, and Parenting with Patience.

When he is not ministering the word, Chap likes cycling, skiing, reading, and checking out Providence restaurants with his wife. You can follow him on Twitter or Instagram @chapbettis. Or for a free audiobook, visit the ministry website!
