About Masterworks

Our Story

MasterWorks began as an idea in the 1970s when a young David Schroeder decided it was important to find a way to make disciples of the men in his church.

Rev. Dr. David E. Schroeder began small group ministries using material he had written based on the discipleship passages found in the Gospel of Luke. The name “MasterWorks” is based on Ephesians 2:10, For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works. Using the imagery of the workbench of Jesus, who is shaping us to be in his image, Dr. Schroeder’s books and teachings seek to lead people into lives of holiness, service, and leadership to bless their churches and communities. In 1990, MasterWorks was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

MasterWorks equips disciple makers on the frontlines to complete the Great Commission. Through writing, publishing, distributing, and teaching biblically based materials, and through mentoring and consulting with individuals and churches, MasterWorks contributes to fulfilling the Great Commission Jesus gave to his first disciples and the church.

We operate on two fronts: upholding the standard of God’s Word in the face of a western culture that is rapidly drifting from its historic Judeo-Christian foundation, as well as fueling the frontlines where millions have never heard the name of Jesus.

Toward this end, MasterWorks:

• Provides virtual and in-person trainings and teachings of discipleship material.
• Serves as a spiritual covering and organizational affiliation
• Licensing and mentoring for pastors and other spiritual leaders
