Pastor Daniel grew up in a small town outside of Birmingham, Alabama. He came to know Jesus as his Savior at age 14. He went to Samford University (a Baptist college) in Birmingham to study church music. It was there that he met his lovely wife, Sarah. The two got married in August of 1997. They have four grown children - Anna, Ruthie, Grant, and Joshua. They moved their family from Alabama to Indiana in answer to a call from God for church planting in Indiana.
Daniel works full-time as a music teacher at an elementary school in Fort Wayne. Daniel’s hobbies include bicycling and gardening. His life verse is Genesis 21:12, “Do whatever Sarah tells you.”
