Chris Carder:  

Life Just out of high school, I got involved in a youth group at the First Baptist Church in Smyrna, Georgia. I saw a group of kids there that loved God and really lived it out by loving one another. Their example spoke volumes to me and in the Spring I gave my life to Jesus. I have moved away from the Smyrna area, to Louisville, Kentucky, but still have great memories of those special days...while at the same time remembering that the best days lie ahead for those who trust Christ's finished work on the cross. As I peer in the rear view mirror of my life, I can see many key times when God was sowing His Truth in me. I always believed the Christmas Story of the birth of the Savior. I never doubted the truth of a Risen Savior as the Easter story unfolded. But it was not until that February Wednesday night, after seeing a glimpse of Jesus' love through the Smyrna youth, that everything seemed to make sense and I realized I had to make a commitment with all of 'me' publicly and unashamedly, as Jesus did for me. When I am home: I am surrounded by beautiful women, starting with my wonderful wife, Leslie. We have been married 12 years and been blessed with two girls. Elena is 6 years old, has a sweet heart although she can be tough as nails. Keely was born on March 27, 2006 and is one of the happiest kids I have ever seen or been around. We live in a couple of doors down from Leslie's school, Fern Creek High.
