Dan and Sara Dangerfield
Lead Pastor
Dan and Sara, both native to Minnesota, have been part of the Assemblies of God since childhood. Pastor Dan received his bachelor's degree in Children’s Ministry from North Central University in 2003, and his master’s degree in Missional Leadership from Trinity Bible College in 2020.
Having been in ministry for nearly 20 years, both Dan and Sara have a heart for raising up the church to reach their personal world, whether it be their workplace, community or home. It is their desire to raise up a pastor in every home, creating healthy marriages and raising Christ-like children. They believe the church is the hope for the lost, broken, discouraged and battered.
Dan enjoys golfing, Sara values the written word, and together they gladly play taxi for their three children and all their activities.
