Dan first sensed God’s call to full-time ministry while attending Palm Beach Atlantic University, where he served as a music intern at Family Church (formerly First Baptist Church of West Palm). In 1997, he married Debbie, and together they began a journey of faith and ministry that has spanned more than 25 years.
While completing his Master of Divinity at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Dan served as Minister of Music at Hulen Street Baptist Church. During this season, their family grew with the blessing of three children.
In 2004, God led Dan and his family back to his hometown of Titusville, Florida, where he served at Park Avenue Baptist Church for over two decades as Minister of Music and Associate Pastor. Along the way, Dan and Debbie raised their family of four and poured their lives into serving the church and community they love.
Now, as near-empty nesters, Dan and Debbie feel God’s call to a new season of ministry—planting and pastoring The Gathering Church in their hometown. They are excited to walk alongside others in their faith journey, pointing people to Jesus and building a community centered on God’s Word and His love.
