Charles ScheeleGrew up on a farm in Illinois. My Dad went to seminary and Mom attended Bible College. They became the leaders of the youth group in our church. My parents read through the Bible every year and encouraged us kids to do the same. When I was 11, I cameto admire my parent's character and fairness with us kids and attributed it to their Bible reading, I began reading the Bible through every year like they did. I graduated from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College of Owatonna, MN, in 1979 with a BS in Pastorology and Bible. In 1983 I graduated from Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Minneapolis, MN, with a Master of Divinity. In 1986 I became the pastor of Lakeland Baptist Church of Crandon, WI. In 1992 I became the pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Tomahawk, WI, where I still am today. In 1993 I became a volunteer at Lincoln Hills School, a juvenile prison in Irma, WI, and in 1994 I was hired as a temporary chaplain for the center for two years. My volunteer work at Lincoln Hills involved Bible study groups and counseling, which I did for 26 years. I had made a profession of faith when 8 years old, but never was sure of my salvation. In the fall of 1978, in my junior year at Pillsbury, God convicted me of my sin while reading Romans 1:18 and the justness of His judgment; I repented and made sure of my salvation and was baptized. At that time I surrendered to the call to the ministry and have not struggled with my salvation since. Read More Read Less
