Daniel Scheiderer
84 Sermons
Daniel was raised in Tucson, AZ where he came to faith and was baptized at an early age. Though he did not grow up “in the church,” his family did attend church occasionally throughout his childhood. When he was a teen, he was able to commit himself more fully to the church and to reading Scripture. Though he had entertained the thought of going into ministry after high school, he decided instead to pursue his childhood desire to join the Army. As an infantryman, Daniel was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and 2011 with the Tenth Mountain Division out of New York. On his first deployment, he was able to work alongside two chaplains as a “fill-in” Chaplain’s Assistant at which time he was introduced to the doctrines of grace and the life of ministry. Providentially, when Daniel returned to his platoon, he was wounded by an IED, and on his second deployment he was wounded again, resulting in his medical retirement from the Army in 2013. As he transitioned out of the Army, Daniel began an internship with his pastor at the time in San Antonio, TX, continued his own study, and came to convictional confessionalism. Eventually he and his family moved up to Louisville, KY in order for Daniel to complete his studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. While in Louisville, he was blessed to serve as a Deacon and then ordained to gospel ministry as an Elder at Kosmosdale Baptist Church, a Reformed Baptist congregation in the Southern Baptist Convention. After completing his B.A. at Boyce College and M.Div. at SBTS, he continued on to PhD studies in systematic theology, which he completed in May of 2022. After Daniel pastored a church in Massachusetts, He was then called to minister here at Grace Baptist Church in May of 2021. In addition to serving the saints in his local church, Daniel has sought to serve the church more broadly in his writing (some academic articles and one book, Still Confessing). Daniel has been married to Patsy since 2007, and together they have four children: Ana, Malia, Danny, and John. Together, they like exploring, talking about theology and history, and getting to know new things and new places.
