Brother Chad H Webb

First Counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency

As a young man, Chad Webb was attending the College of Eastern Utah (now Utah State University Eastern) when he had a foundational spiritual experience that deepened his testimony of the gospel. That experience started with a desire to strengthen his faith.

Amid doing schoolwork and playing basketball on his college team, Brother Webb made studying the scriptures, praying, and pondering a priority as he prepared to serve a full-time mission in Veracruz, Mexico.

One cold night he went for a long walk around Price, Utah, and thought about everything he was learning. Heavenly guidance came as he entered an empty parking lot.

“I felt that all the answers to my prayers and questions came, and I felt very deeply how true the gospel and the Church are,” he said. “Those truths came with great clarity in my mind, along with the feeling that Heavenly Father was aware of me. I felt His love and His direction. That was one of the early impactful experiences I had to deepen my testimony.”

Chad H Webb was born in Rexburg, Idaho, USA, on December 18, 1964, to Larry George Webb and Paige Webb. He grew up in southeastern Idaho and married Kristi Ann Bronson in the Logan Utah Temple on August 4, 1990. They live in Layton, Utah, USA, and have six children.

Brother Webb graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and a master’s degree in educational leadership and foundations. He taught seminary classes in Salt Lake City and institute classes in Virginia and Utah, coordinated institute programs in Washington, D.C., and supervised training and selection of seminary teachers. Since 2008, he has served as an administrator of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion.

Brother Webb was released as Layton Utah Valley View Stake president shortly before his call. Previous callings include bishop, high councilor, and elders quorum president.
