More about our Spiritual Speaker -
Damian Chandler, Senior Pastor
Sacramento Capitol City SDA Church
Pastor Damian Chandler was born in Toronto, Canada, and raised on the island of Barbados. His ministry journey started in a small church housed in the basement of his home. It was in that basement church, with only 9 members, that he developed a passion for ministry. At night he could hear the prayers of these humble people rising through the vents into his room. That small church made a large deposit in the spiritual hunger of Pastor Chandler, and it stands as both a turning point in his life, and a foundation for his call to ministry.
His ministry journey has taken him across America from Seattle, Washington, to Huntsville, Alabama. He attended Oakwood College, where he graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Theology, and later attained a Masters of Divinity degree from the Adventist Theological Seminary of Andrews University. In 2014 Pastor Chandler accepted a call to the Capitol City Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Sacramento, California, where he now serves as Senior Pastor.
Known as a creative, his gifts do not end in the pulpit. He has composed numerous songs now used in praise and worship settings across the country, and has written two books: "The Crooked Christmas Tree," and his latest book “I Am Jon”.
Pastor Chandler is passionate about ministry, but he is even more passionate about family. He is married to his partner in life, Tanzy Chandler. Their tribe includes daughter Zoe, and sons Salem and Levi.
