Congregants and guests gathered on March 16th at Hollywood Community Church to install Pastor Justin Chades as the new lead pastor, succeeding Brian Burkholder as pastor of the local church, which is also home to Calvary Christian Academy Hollywood. Burkholder, who led the church for almost 15 years, is moving his family to the Milwaukee area to be closer to their family and grandchildren. He plans to serve at Cedar Creek Community Church in Grafton, Wis., where his son, Mark Burkholder, is lead pastor. The transition celebration was the culmination of a succession plan begun three years ago under the guidance of Dr. Anton Venter, president and CEO of The City Changers Movement, who Burkholder said coached church leaders through the process. Chades began ministering at Westside Baptist Church in Gainesville, then served as associate pastor at City Rev Church in Cooper City for 9 years before joining Hollywood Community Church as associate pastor in the fall of 2023. He and his wife Amy have three children: Hudson (8), Levi (6), and Selah (3). Though he was raised in the church, Chades said he spent much of his late teens living a double life with a shallow faith. During his freshman year of college, he experienced a radical transformation in his faith as he built relationships with other Christians on his college campus. Since then, his love for God and His Word has reshaped the purpose and trajectory of his life. Pastor Chades earned his undergraduate degree at University of Florida and his master’s in divinity at Liberty University. On their Facebook page, Hollywood Community Church thanked all who came and “made it such a special and monumental day in the life of our church.” They extended special thanks to all the churches and local organizations who were represented at the installation service, including City Rev Church, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, Calvary Christian Academy Hollywood, Crossway Church, Riverside Church, Church United, Metropolitan Baptist Church - Hollywood, Florida Baptist Convention, Doxa Deo - City Changers, Lighthouse Church, Parkridge Church and Taft Street Baptist Church Hollywood Community Church exists to make disciples of Jesus who are COMMITTED to their faith, CONNECTED with one another and dedicated to being the heart and hands of Jesus in our COMMUNITY.
