Apostle
Chase was raised in New Jersey and was brought up in the Episcopal
Church. He credits his sense of structure and liturgical training
to his childhood Christian upbringing. While in his early twenties
and leaving his home, he found himself seeking more in depth
knowledge of the Scriptures and a more open worship environment.
This is when he became "non-denominational,"
and was initially licensed ordained as a Minister of the Gospel.
Returning
home to New Jersey, Apostle Chase attended the New Shiloh Missionary
Full Gospel Church. While there, he was licensed and ordained
at the hand of his Father in the Ministry, (the late) Bishop
Alfred Blakely, DD. Serving at New Shiloh, Apostle Chase served
as Administrator and Liaison Officer. He was active in the Urban
Ministry and Evangelism campaign at New Shiloh, through American
Baptist Churches USA (NJ).
Heeding
the calling of the Lord, Apostle Chase was led to unite ministers
from various denominational backgrounds. It has always been
his agenda to put aside denominational and dogmatic philosophy
and unite under the banner of Jesus Christ alone. It was at
this time, he was initially consecrated to the office of Bishop
at the hands of Bishop John H. Covington and Bishop Lawerence
J. Grayson of the Full Gospel Missionary Church in June of 1999.
Since then he has had the privilege and honor of ordaining several
men and women to the ministry and, consecrating several Bishops
throughout the US and abroad.
In
June of 2001, Apostle D. E. Chase was consecrated, commissioned,
affirmed and confirmed to the Apostleship through Apostle K.
Edwards of the National Pentecostal Holiness Assemblies. In
February of 2005 he was elevated and Coronated Archbishop and
Patriarch and bestowed full lines of Apostolic Succession through
the Charismatic Archdiocese of the Sacred Heart.
Throughout
his ministry, Apostle Chase has planted several churches and
ministries. Remaining true to his calling and ministry that
the Lord appointed him to, Apostle Chase is now the organizer,
developer, Senior-Pastor of Holy Covenant Tabernacle.
