Ministry Experience

Elder

Dan served as an elder for 10 years serving the maximum two consecutive 3-year terms January 2010 through December 2015. Rejoined the board in December 2018. Brought back to the board for combination of candor and commitment.

When charges of unbiblical behavior were brought against the senior pastor by 6 witnesses, Dan led the push for elders to fulfill their ministry and consider whether the then senior pastor met the biblical qualifications of an elder and whether his employment should be terminated. After the former senior pastor was fired for cause, Dan was chosen to serve on the new smaller elder board and lead the church through change.

Dan was the first church leader to repent publicly (Statement of Repentance). When it became evident the system was not going to change, Dan resigned from the board calling for reform (Resignation and Call for Reform).
