Dr. Robert Schuller
Robert Harold
Schuller was born in Alton, Iowa. He was raised on his parent’s farm nearby, in a small, close-knit
community of Dutch Americans. Robert knew from the early age of four
that he wanted to be a minister of the church. After graduating from
a tiny high school of nearby Newkirk, Iowa, he entered Hope College,
in Holland, Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Robert was ready to return to Michigan to pursue his religious studies
at Western Theological Seminary. In 1950, he received his Masters
of Divinity. The young Reverend Schuller married Arvella DeHann of
Newkirk, and the newlyweds moved to Chicago, where the newly ordained
minister took up his first assignment as pastor of the Ivanhoe Reformed
Church. During his ministry, the congregation grew from 38 to over
400. In 1955, Schuller’s denomination, the Reformed Church
of America, called on him to build a new congregation in Garden Grove,
California. With only $500 in assets, he decided to rent a drive-in
movie theater, the Orange Drive-in. On the first Sunday, 100 persons
attended services seated in their cars, while Reverend Schuller preached
from the tarpaper roof of the snack bar. The Garden Grove congregation
continued to grow; when a larger building was needed, Rev. Schuller
commissioned the renowned architect Phillip Johnson to build a new
building, all of glass: the Crystal Cathedral. After almost insurmountable
difficulties, this 2, 736-seat architectural marvel was dedicated
in 1980, “To the Glory of Man for the Greater Glory of God.” Today,
one million people visit the Cathedral annually. Dr. Schuller is
the author of over 30 books, six of which have found a place on the
New York Times and Publisher’s Weekly best-seller lists. |

career took off as a
major league baseball pitcher, a southpaw, for the San Francisco
Giants. Shortly after realizing his lifelong dream, Dave was diagnosed

arm. The next year was a whirlwind of surgery, radiation, pain,
and depression
all in the glaring light of the media. Eventually, Dave’s arm
was amputated to stop the spread of cancer and save his life. Through
it all, Dave’s faith in God and love He gave him through
others provided the anchor that they needed in the midst of the
storm. Dave
