about our family
Get to know us
We’re a small family that loves making big memories. We live in a small, country cottage nestled in the hills of Tennessee.
Our faith, our families, and our friends are the most important treasures that we have. We love sharing our experiences, our adventures, our challenges, and our happy times with others. It is our prayer that this site will encourage and inspire you in this wonderful journey of life.
Chad Paine
Chad grew up in a large family in northern Indiana. At an early age he grew to love working on the farm, raising goats and chickens, and driving the tractor. He is probably the most diligent person you will ever meet, and he credits his dad for his strong work ethic. He spent many years working with youth and his humble and gentle spirit impacted countless lives. He graduated from a private College with an Associates in Youth Ministry. In 2013, he moved to Tennessee and married the love of his life, Erin Bates.
Over the years he has really enjoyed working with his hands, refinishing furniture, remodeling, and building projects. Chad started Paine Construction in 2017, and stays quite busy working full time, and making people’s dreams come to life. He is a proud father to 4 children, and every evening you can find him giving the kids wild piggy-back rides, breathtaking pushes on the swing , and telling the most exciting Bible stories. He is constantly investing into his family, and there is no job at home that he isn’t willing to do. He is a true example of a Christian and leads his family by serving, loving, and giving.
Erin Bates Paine
Erin finds fulfillment and joy from being a full time mother, homeschooling her two oldest, making dinners from scratch, and growing every flower she can find. She has a desire to minister to other women and encourage them to deepen their relationship with the Lord. You will often hear her saying, “Make your time with Jesus your priority each day, and make a choice to surround yourself with people and media that will challenge you spiritually. Life is too short to waste our time and eternity is too great.”
so much fun!

The BEST WEEK with the best of friends! ❤️ The cousins adore each other and being with my sister again felt like heaven! 😍 We played hard, ate a lot, laughed and slept, (oh! Wait, we didn`t do a lot of that! 😂) So grateful for times like these! @bobby_torilayne_smith

Grandpa Paine, we miss you so much. 💔 Heaven will be sweeter because you are there. We’ve shed many tears, but we are so grateful for the legacy you left. You were a beautiful reflection of Christ in your life and ministry. You served as a doctor on the mission field for most of your life and gave everything you had to help others. We love you so much and look forward to seeing you again one day, but until then, we will hold tight to the memories. ❤️🩹
✨I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to talk to Grandpa about his life story. It was inspiring and nothing short of miraculous. I am so happy our children will be able to hear it in his own words. (See our YouTube if you would like to view). His testimony will build your faith. ❤️

Happy 8th Birthday, Brooklyn Elise! ❤️ You are full of energy and life. You love people deeply and you love the Lord. Your journals reflect how tender and beautiful your heart is. You love to write. You are organized and thrive when you’re following a schedule. Singing has become one of your favorite things to do, and I am just so proud of the girl you are. You are precious to all of us and we look forward to seeing how God will continue to use you this year. Keep smiling, sweet girl, and keep bringing joy to those around you! ❤️ You are so loved!

Spent a few days in Oklahoma for the last Paine wedding (they are all married off now!) ☺️Such a whirlwind of a trip, but we enjoyed every minute with family catching up on life. ❤️ I wish we could all just live in the same town. It’s so hard not being close to family, but it makes us all the more grateful for times like these! ❤️ Now to get back to the three we left…this Mama can’t be gone long from her babies! 😍 #PaineWedding #family #Oklahoma #togetheragain
