Rev. Christopher A. Credle EMT-P, BCBT, LBT, PhD
Chris has had a personal one-on-one relationship with Jesus Christ since Easter 1979. Chris knew from an early age that GOD had a calling for him for the ministry, and, his fascination, with the medical field and EMS, started during a Boy Scout Fall Camporee, while getting his First Aid skill award.
The local county EMS system taught the First Aid class that Chris attended, when he was eleven years old. To add to the visual aid and hands-on experience, the local EMS brought their Ambulance. After that First Aid class, Chris knew that EMS was what he wanted to do: help people and drive that big ambulance with the lights and sirens; what a great way to minister to people.
Chris became involved with EMS in 1985 in a Rescue/EMS Explorer Post. Chris earned his Basic EMT in the spring of 1988. In the fall of 1988, Chris attended a Discipleship Training School (DTS), at Pacific and Asia Christian University now known as the University of the Nations. U of N is the university for Youth With A Mission (YWAM).
Chris became an ordained minister in 1991, with the Jameson Evangelistic Association. Chris has been in ministry for over twenty-two years, all the while maintaining a full-time job in EMS. While in ministry, Chris has worked as an EMS Chaplain, missionary, college & career pastor, and, along with his wife, as singles' ministers and youths' pastors.
Chris earned his EMT-Paramedic in the spring of 1992. While in EMS, Chris has worked in and for both large cities EMS services and the rural EMS systems. He has worked as a line Medic, QRV Medic, Critical Care Paramedic, Crew Chief, Preceptor, Assistant Operations Manager, Training Director and is an adjunct facility at one of the local community colleges with the EMT and Paramedic courses. He currently works as a CTE-EMT Instructor at a local high school in his community.
Chris holds multiple Christian degrees in Religious Arts, Theology, and Biblical Counseling from the following Christian schools: Logos Christian College, from Christian Life School of Theology, and Therapon University. Chris is a Licensed Belief Therapist (LBT), Board Certified Belief Therapist (BCBT), Certified Reentry Crisis Counselor (CRCC) and a Certified Youth Behavioral Advisor (CYBA) through the Therapon Institute in Marrero, Louisiana.
In 2003, Chris and Amy Credle started SoulMedic Ministries, a multi-faceted ministry to reach out to men and women of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), with the Gospel. The goal is to bring Chaplains into a working role in Emergency Medical Services, and, to provide those in EMS with Bible study tools, relevant to Emergency Medical Service Providers.
