About Elevate Chaplains
Meet Randall Merrill, PhD

Corporate Chaplain | Old Testament Scholar | certified mental health coach
I’m Randall Merrill, founder of Elevate Chaplains, and I’ve spent decades walking with people through their most difficult—and most meaningful—moments in life.
As a corporate chaplain based in Fort Worth, TX, I bring deep pastoral experience, doctoral-level biblical training, and a heart for the workplace. I completed my PhD in Old Testament Studies in May 2025, and for me, chaplaincy is not just a service—it’s a calling.
My Approach
I believe employees thrive when they feel heard, valued, and supported. That’s why I meet people where they are—in break rooms, in hallways, or during moments of quiet reflection. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, practical encouragement, or prayer when requested, I aim to bring clarity, care, and calm into the workday.
My Background
- PhD in Old Testament Studies (May 2025)
- 18+ years of theological and ministry training
- Lifelong learner, committed husband, and father
- Certified mental health coach
