Apostle D. E. Chase is an dedicated and anointed Man of God. He is the Senior-Pastor and Establishmentarian of Abundant Life Christian Worship Center. Apostle Chase is the Presiding Prelate of the United Assemblies of Christ International, Inc.

Apostle Chase was raised in New Jersey and was brought up in the Episcopal Church. He credits his sense of structure and liturgical training to his childhood Christian upbringing. While in his early twenties and leaving his home, he found himself seeking more in depth knowledge of the Scriptures and a more open worship environment. This is when he became "non-denominational," and was initially licensed ordained as a Minister of the Gospel.

Returning home to New Jersey, Apostle Chase attended the New Shiloh Missionary Full Gospel Church. While there, he was licensed and ordained at the hand of his Father in the Ministry, (the late) Bishop Alfred Blakely, DD. Serving at New Shiloh, Apostle Chase served as Administrator and Liaison Officer. He was active in the Urban Ministry and Evangelism campaign at New Shiloh, through American Baptist Churches USA (NJ).

Heeding the calling of the Lord, Apostle Chase was led to unite ministers from various denominational backgrounds. It has always been his agenda to put aside denominational and dogmatic philosophy and unite under the banner of Jesus Christ alone. It was at this time, he was initially consecrated to the office of Bishop at the hands of Bishop John H. Covington and Bishop Lawerence J. Grayson of the Full Gospel Missionary Church in June of 1999. Since then he has had the privilege and honor of ordaining several men and women to the ministry and, consecrating several Bishops throughout the US and abroad.

In June of 2001, Apostle D. E. Chase was consecrated, commissioned, affirmed and confirmed to the Apostleship through Apostle K. Edwards of the National Pentecostal Holiness Assemblies. In February of 2005 he was elevated and Coronated Archbishop and Patriarch and bestowed full lines of Apostolic Succession through the Charismatic Archdiocese of the Sacred Heart.

Throughout his ministry, Apostle Chase has planted several churches and ministries. Remaining true to his calling and ministry that the Lord appointed him to, Apostle Chase is now the organizer, developer, Senior-Pastor of Abundant Life Christian Worship Center.
