Daron Roberts
Pastor - Teacher
Pastor Daron was born in Clearwater, FL and raised in Portland, OR. After making a profession of faith at a young age, he believed he had become a Christian. However, his profession of faith proved empty. He spent the next two decades resembling more of a self-righteous Pharisee, than a humble follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then when Daron was 24, while playing baseball in the minor league with the Chicago White Sox, God mercifully opened his eyes to the reality that he was actually self-deceived and needed Christ. That summer of 2007, Daron came to truly believe upon Christ as his Lord and Savior. Immediately he became a new creature in Christ. However, he knew very little about the vital role of the local church in his life. The following year Daron was traded to the Miami Marlins which landed him in Jupiter, FL. Here is where he had the unique opportunity to be discipled by Pastor Jerry Wragg at Grace Immanuel Baptist Church. Over the next year, God stirred in Daron’s heart a desire to impact souls for Christ and be immersed in a healthy local church. The following year in 2009 Daron retired from baseball, moved to Jupiter FL with his new wife Bethany, and enrolled at The Expositors Seminary (TES) to receive his Master of Divinity. Daron was incredibly blessed by being able to be the personal assistant to pastor Jerry Wragg in the following years. He later became an Elder and was a shepherd over young married couples and young adults at Grace Immanuel Bible Church. Daron was also able to work alongside and teach at The Expositors Seminary during his time in Jupiter. Daron now sits on the Board of TES and finds tremendous joy in being a part of a ministry that trains pastors in the local church. Daron works in partnership with Richard Caldwell (senior pastor of Founders Baptist Church) and the Houston campus of TES. In 2021 Daron responded to the call to be the senior pastor of Cornerstone Bible Church in Katy, Texas—a suburb on the west side of Houston. Cornerstone Bible Church is a church planted from Founders Baptist Church in Spring, Texas.
Daron is also uniquely grateful to God for the legacy and impact of Dr. John MacArthur on his life. His former pastor, Jerry Wragg, was Dr. MacArthur’s personal assistant for many years and has passed on that imprint to Daron. Furthermore, Daron’s wife’s family are Charter Members of Grace Community Church dating back 64 years. They have served alongside Dr. MacArthur for 52 years. Also, Daron is currently working on his Doctor of Ministry at The Master’s Seminary.
Pastor Daron is happily married to his best friend, Bethany, and has been blessed with four wonderful children: Hudson, Wiley, Brooklyn, and Macie.
