Christopher L. Schwab is a pastor at The Village Chapel in Cleveland, OH and serves as an adjunct factuly member at the Cleveland Downtown campus Bryant & Stratton College, teaching several sections of Philosophy 250: Practices in Analytic Reasoning and Critical Thinking. He completed a Bachelor of Arts degree from Taylor University (Upland, IN) in 2001 with majors in Biblical Literature and Philosophy and a minor in Biblical Languages. In 2006 he completed a Master of Divinity degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Deerfield, IL). Christopher was born in Bloomington, IL and raised in a somewhat theologically liberal United Methodist Congregation. He became a Christian in 1994 at the age of 15 through the evangelistic reach of Young Life. Subsequently, he fought against the idea of the "church" because of his early experiences withing a congregation that did not seem committed to the gospel. This began a long process of God teaching him that the Church was his chosen vehicle for the gospel in this age, that he loved it, and that it had many faithful if imperfect local manifestations. Eventually this process culminated in calling Christopher to pastoral ministry. He has a wife and three young children, enjoys reading, music, and baseball, and is working through a fresh translation of Romans with a long-time friend.
