Daniel Bondaczuk Ordained to Gospel Ministry at Madison

Church members from the Madison Campus, Tenn., Church, as well as family, friends, and colleagues, joined with the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference administrative officers in celebrating the ordination of Daniel Bondaczuk on Sabbath, June 20, 2026.

Born and raised in a Seventh-day Adventist home in São Paulo, Brazil, Pastor Daniel spent much of his life running from his calling, yet music remained a constant, redemptive thread throughout his journey. From his early education at ACARTE (Academia Adventista de Arte), where he first learned to play, to singing and performing with various institutional music groups throughout his childhood and teenage years, music quickly became central to his identity.

Daniel earned a degree in Piano Performance from the University of São Paulo in 2008. In the years that followed, he pursued opportunities arranging, recording, and performing for a variety of artists. Just as life seemed to be pulling him further away from the church, Daniel was called to serve as music director at an Anglican church, a role he held for nine years before moving to the United States.

In 2014, his family relocated to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where Daniel attended Middle Tennessee State University and graduated in 2016 with a degree in Composition. In the United States, he has been able to fully devote his gifts to ministry, whether through making music at Madison Campus or creating compositions that have inspired believers around the world. Pastor Daniel firmly believes in the transformative power of music as a tool for sharing the gospel. As he puts it, “Nothing mimics the spiritual life more closely than the lifelong pursuit of beauty, connection, and excellence found in the craft of art.”

Pastor Daniel is married to his lovely wife, Marjore, and together they have three children: Yeva, Sarah, and Gregory. When he is not writing music, Daniel enjoys spending time with his family, fixing things around the house, and cooking.
