Samuel E. Waldron (January 11, 1951–) is an American Reformed Baptist preacher, theologian, and author, widely recognized for his contributions to Baptist theology and his leadership in pastoral and academic roles. Born in Alma, Michigan, to godly Christian parents, Waldron grew up in a faith-filled home, though he notes his conversion occurred sometime between ages 3 and 18, without a precise moment he can pinpoint. He earned a B.A. from Cornerstone University (1973), an M.Div. equivalency from Trinity Ministerial Academy, a Th.M. from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary (1987), and a Ph.D. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2005). In 1975, he married Charlene, with whom he has five children and, as of recent counts, 15 grandchildren. Waldron’s ministry began in 1977 when he became a pastor at the Reformed Baptist Church of Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving there until 2001. He later pastored Heritage Baptist Church in Owensboro, Kentucky (2005–2013), before joining Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Owensboro as an elder in 2013, a role he continues today. Academically, he serves as president and professor of Systematic Theology at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary, where he teaches Symbolics and Systematic Theology. A prolific writer, Waldron has authored over 15 books, including A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, The End Times Made Simple, and A Reformed Baptist Manifesto, earning praise for making complex theology accessible. His work often defends amillennial eschatology and the free offer of the gospel, rooted in historical Reformed confessions, influencing both pastors and laypeople in the Reformed Baptist tradition.
