Schieferdecker was born in Teuchern. He became harpsichord player at the Hamburg Opera, then succeeded Dieterich Buxtehude as organist of the Marienkirche in Lübeck.Kerala J. Snyder Dieterich Buxtehude: Organist in Lübeck 1987 Page 104 "Johann Christian Schieferdecker later applied himself better to the goal, led the bride home after the death of the father Buxtehude, and received the fine position that Johann Paul Kuntzen so laudably fills at the present time." He died in Lübeck.
