Chad Wagner

Pastor and Author

Chad Wagner is the pastor of Excelsior Springs Church, a Historic, Independent, Unincorporated, Non-501c3, KJV-only Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Excelsior Springs, MO. He was born and raised in rural northwestern Pennsylvania, where he attended an Arminian Protestant church from birth until my early 20s. In the early 2000s, he attended Pennsylvania College of Technology where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering Technology. After graduating and spending a year overseas, he worked in the electronic and automation engineering fields for over six years before being called into the ministry. In 2005, he was baptized by Tim Boffey, pastor of the Cincinnati Church. After being trained for the ministry for several years by Pastor Boffey, he was ordained by Pastor Boffey and Pastor Ben Mott in 2013. Shortly after his ordination, he assumed the oversight of the Minneapolis Church and served there until 2018, after which he became the resident pastor of the Excelsior Springs Church.

He has authored five books: The True Grace of God, Problem Texts for Sovereign Grace, and Get Wisdom, Get Understanding—Volumes 1, 2, and 3. He also maintains this website, which contains an archive of sermon and Bible study recordings, outlines, videos, blogs, and essays on a wide range of topics.
He has been married to his lovely wife, Sette, for nearly eight years, and he is deeply thankful to God for her. He enjoys roasting, brewing, drinking fine coffee, and reading quality books.
