Chip Pullen’s faith journey began when he accepted Christ at nine years old. Raised in a devout Christian home and a member of Victory Baptist Church, his spiritual foundation was solidified. He graduated from Victory Christian Academy in 2006 before pursuing studies in music and business administration in college.
In 2010, Chip married his wife of 13 years, Leslie (Metts) Pullen. His professional journey took a musical turn in 2012 and continued when he joined Gold City Quartet, singing professionally for four years. During this time, he felt a calling to preach, leading him to transition from touring to full-time ministry.
Chip and Leslie are proud parents to Walker (5) and Elise (3). Today, Chip focuses on his ministry, sharing the Gospel with others. His commitment to family, music, and spiritual growth remains unwavering.
