Over the past two years, the Reformed Baptist Seminary has deepened my understanding of Scripture and strengthened my ability to serve the church I love.

I am grateful for God’s providence in guiding me to complete my Master of Historical Theology at Reformed Baptist Seminary. The seminary’s church-based approach ensured my studies were deeply rooted in practical ministry.

When I was three years old, my teacher sent me home from preschool with a note to my parents. It read, “Today, Daniel said, ‘When I grow up, I’m going to be a preacher.’”

By the Lord’s grace, I completed the XL internship in 2024, and my home church graciously brought me on as an Executive Associate Pastor and elder. The training I received at Reformed Baptist Seminary has been especially valuable in preparing me for this role.

I grew up in the Pentecostal world and attended an Assemblies of God university, receiving my undergraduate degree in Pastoral Ministries and Biblical Studies.

My whole adult life I have craved a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and knew that through knowledge of the Word, I would grow closer with Jesus. However, with work, family and church responsibilities, I did not think I would have the opportunity.
