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 Bates Paine is a native Tennessean who has lived in the greater Knoxville area all of her life. Growing up in a family of 19 children, there was never a dull moment for her. Erin graduated with honors and earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Crown College of the Bible. She is an accomplished pianist and has released 5 studio albums. Erin fell in love with and married the man of her dreams in November of 2013. They now have 4 beautiful blessings, and are adding to their brood early 2022. Erin is Chad’s biggest inspiration for projects in and outside the home. She is extremely creative and has a wonderful eye for home decor and artistic designs. She adds a beautiful touch around her home and in the homes of those around her.
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!

Happy 60th birthday to my beautiful mom! 🎈So thankful I got to be with her to celebrate her special day.
She is the most generous, giving person I’ve ever known and has always been her kids’ biggest fan. What a gift to go through life knowing she’s cheering us on.
Mom, I hope this year is full of joy and that you feel every bit as loved as you’ve always made us feel. I love you! 🤍 @thebatesfam

I lost 30 pounds… but there’s so much more to the story. 🤍
This journey has been about more than a number on the scale. It’s been learning, making changes, and realizing how many pieces play a part in our health—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
In the full video, I’m sharing my personal experience step-by-step what changed, and what I’ve learned along the way.
Comment HEALTH and I’ll send you the link to watch.

When we look at this picture, we see the greatest responsibility God has given us—our family.
We want our children to grow up knowing that what we have isn’t only for us. That our work can serve a greater purpose, and that even the everyday things we do can make an eternal difference.
That belief is woven into Chad & Erin Co.
We love creating clean, nourishing skincare—but the mission behind it matters even more to us. We give 10% of our net profits to Bible printing ministries, helping provide God’s Word to people around the world, including some who have never owned a Bible before.
Every order helps us continue that mission.
Thank you for supporting our family and allowing us, together, to place the hope of God’s Word into more hands. It truly means more than we can say. 🫶🏻

I’ve been reflecting a lot this month on where we were one year ago…
One year ago, I was in the ICU after experiencing septic shock—separated from all of my children and my newborn baby. I remember how frightening and hopeless it all felt.
But God.
He is still a miracle-working God—even in the circumstances that feel impossible. I still get weepy when I think about where He has brought us and how gracious He has been.
And through every terrifying moment, Chad was right beside me—gentle, kind, and doing everything he possibly could to help me. He carried so much during those days, yet never stopped caring for me. I don’t know how I would have made it through without him. I couldn’t possible love him more.
If you are walking through something that feels hopeless right now, please don’t stop praying. Don’t stop asking. Don’t lose hope.
I will never stop thanking God for the gift of life—and for every doctor, nurse, friend, family member, and stranger who helped carry us through.
It is incredibly humbling to know that people we had never even met were praying on our behalf. That is the beauty of the family of God.
One year later, my heart is simply overwhelmed with gratitude. 🤍

Give me the kind of life that doesn’t look impressive from the outside but feels rich on the inside.
More family dinners. More conversations without distractions. More laughter. More time in God’s Word.
Less busyness. Less noise. Less scrolling, shopping, rushing, and trying to keep up. I don`t want a life of hurry.
More walks in nature. More pauses through the day. More gratitude for the simple gifts God places in front of us.
