Following graduation, he was by some accounts the first person ordained by the Bible Presbyterian Church and became pastor of the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Grove City, PA. From 1943 to 1947, he pastored First Bible Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, MO, and served as moderator of the Midwest Presbytery [BPC].
During this time Schaeffer and his wife founded the Children for Christ ministry in St. Louis, which soon became widely adopted by other evangelical churches. In 1948 he moved with his family to Lausanne, Switzerland to begin mission work, and moved the following year to Champery, Switzerland, where he wrote Basic Bible Studies. In 1953 he returned to the United States on furlough and began an extensive speaking tour. By 1955 he had resigned from the mission board and began L'Abri Fellowship, which became the primary focus of his life.
Work began in 1974 on the book and film versions of one of his more well-known works, How Shall We Then Live?, during which time he also helped to found the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy. Dr. Schaeffer was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer in 1978. On May 15, 1984, he died at his home in Rochester, MN and was buried at Oakwood Cemetary in Rochester. |
