Andrew Sherwood grew up in Springfield, Missouri. Seeing the Gospel modeled well in his family, Andrew professed Christ at an early age. However, his most vivid understanding of salvation and its implications came toward the end of college through the preaching of Redeemer Presbyterian, Waco, Texas.

Andrew met Mark Dever, officially, at the Jonathan Edwards conference in October 2003. Mark invited Andrew to a Weekender and encouraged him to apply for the CHBC internship. In January 2005, Andrew moved to Washington, D.C. and completed the pastoral internship.

Currently, he serves as Administrative Assistant for the pastoral staff. Duties include regular updating of the membership directory, personal assistance to Michael Lawrence and Thabiti Anyabwile, and a variety of other office-related activities.

While not certain of his call to pastoral ministry, Andrew desires to eventually serve as an Elder. He hopes to return and settle in the Midwest.

He spends most of his free time outdoors where he likes to camp, fish, cycle, rock climb, and play tennis. He also greatly enjoys a variety of music and literature.

Recently meditating on the truths contained in Psalm 55:17-19, Andrew finds comfort in Jesus from Nazareth, the Carpenter that saved Andrew out of darkness into light.

“I will pray morning, noon, and night, pleading aloud with God; and he will hear and answer. Though the tide of battle runs strongly against me, for so many are fighting me, yet he will rescue me. God himself—God from everlasting ages past—will answer them!”
