Frank Hitchings serves LMPC as senior associate pastor, responsible for administration as well as preaching, teaching, and counseling along with the other pastors. Frank graduated from UT-Knoxville with a bachelor’s degree in business, followed by an M.B.A. in finance at the University of Memphis. After spending his 20’s in business development and acquisitions, God led Frank to Reformed Theological Seminary for his Master of Divinity. Following graduation, LMPC called Frank where he has served since 1991. He is married to Mary Vassar, and they have two daughters, a son, a son-in-law, and two grandsons. Frank grew up in Memphis where he was deeply influenced by his grandmother Lynn, a lady who modeled loving servanthood, whose bedrock was Jesus, and who sought intimacy with God through prayer and Scripture. Growing up under the ministry of Independent Presbyterian Church senior minister John Sartelle, Frank saw a man who loved people and met them where they were, metaphorically and literally, seeking to draw everyone he met closer to the Savior. When Frank was 13 years old, he was led to Christ by his youth leader, a college student named Ed Norton who is Frank’s best friend to this day. Frank cites John and Ed as modeling incarnational ministry for him before the term was invented! Besides the people God used in Frank’s life, Frank has been influenced by Jack Miller’s teaching on discipleship (Sonship and Outgrowing the Ingrown Church), John Piper (The Swans are Not Silent series), and theologian Louis Berkhof. In his free time, he enjoys tennis, restoring old British cars, sailing and other water activities, and fishing with his college-aged son.

Formative experiences have included meeting Jessica at the University of Georgia and marrying in 2000, becoming a father to four incredible children, working a summer in Yellowstone National Park, and serving four years in college ministry in East Asia with Campus Crusade for Christ. Influential voices in Chad’s life include seminary professors Scott Swain, Mike Glodo, Steve Brown, and John Frame; authors C.S. Lewis, Tim Keller, Sinclair Ferguson, Paul Tripp, and John Piper.

In Chad’s free time he loves to run, play golf and tennis, hike, coach his kids in various sports, and spend time with family and friends. Being from Athens, Chad is also a rabid Georgia Bulldog who loves to cheer on the dawgs. For Chad, the best part of serving at LMPC is the opportunity to serve alongside a team of humble and gifted pastors who have faithfully ministered the Gospel to this church and the surrounding community for many years.
