About

Troy Parson, a journeyman, exploring how God interacts with humanity. 

Chappy seeing the views

Chappy in Baghdad, Iraq

Troy received his Bachelor of Science, in Youth Ministry, from North Central University and his Master of Divinity from Bethel Theological Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with a concentration in Pastoral Care. 

He felt the call to military ministry from a young age after growing up in the Army chapels as his stepfather was an Army officer.  Along the way, he served as a Youth Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Pastoral Counselor at a Christian faith-based addiction rehabilitation center before being commissioned as an Active Duty Army Chaplain in 2005. 

He served with our troops in Baghdad, Iraq with the First Infantry Division.  He knows first hand the need for experiencing God in darkness.

Troy is ordained by the Evangelical Covenant Church.
