He attended Crowley’s Ridge Academy & Greene County Tech, graduating from GCT in 1966. He studied at CRC from 1966–68, graduating with an Associate of Arts Degree, and then graduated from Harding University in 1970 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Bible. Joe also did graduate work in Bible at the Harding Graduate School of Religion in Memphis. Near the end of March 1968, on a CRC chorus trip to Dallas, Joe began dating Areva Ward, who was also a student at CRC. Talk about a whirlwind romance! They were married just over four months later on August 3, 1968. They have three children: Joe Chesser, Jr., Andy Chesser, (l to r) President Richard Johnson, Joe Chesser, Sr., Joey Chesser, and Jenny Newman. Joey and Andy also attended CRC.

Joe has been a guest speaker at lectureships, gospel meetings and other special events, as well as conducting evangelism training, leadership seminars and in serving youth camps. Mission work has been in Joe’s heart for many years. He had the opportunity to do state-side mission work for 12 years in Minnesota and has had numerous occasions to do short-term foreign missions. The Lord has blessed Joe and Areva to serve Him in Kenya, Guyana, Suriname, Guatemala, Cambodia, and Costa Rica. Joe also has not forgotten his time at Crowley’s Ridge College – as you can hear from these words he spoke recently: “I love CRC, and will never cease to thank God for my two years here. CRC provided an incredible foundation for my spiritual growth and development; it provided the opportunity for me to meet my beautiful wife of 52 years; and it provided the inspiration and encouragement to set in motion my life’s work of service to the Lord. Crowley’s Ridge College will always have a special place in my heart. May God continue to bless CRC, its administration, staff, students and supporters.” Thank you Joe, for your outstanding service to the Church, the Community and Christian Education.
