Pastor Christian McShaffrey was raised in a conservative Roman Catholic home in the Midwest, fell away from that faith as a teenager, spent several years in spiritual darkness, and was born again by the sovereign grace of God at the age of 21.

With a strong desire to help others find new life in Christ, Christian devoted himself to personal study and service in the local church.

When Christian’s inward called was confirmed through the outward call of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, he was taken under care by the Presbytery of the Midwest and began graduate studies at Mid America Reformed Seminary. Christian graduated in May of 2003 and was ordained as an Evangelist to Reedsburg in April of 2004.

In October of 2007, Grace Reformed Church was organized as a new and separate congregation of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and three Ruling Elders were ordained to join Christian in his ministerial labors.

Christian resides in Reedsburg with his wife Kelly and his children Zechariah (5), Isabella (3), and Micaiah (2).
