Welcome to Pondering Faith! My name is Dan. I am a husband, father, and pastor. I serve as the Director of Church Development for the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. This is the place where I ponder all things related to faith, including church leadership, and life in general.
Hooray!!! 🙂
Congratulations!! What a journey you’ve walked…and what a journey ahead!

All the best to yet another! Welcome, and thank you for your service!

Congratulations, Dan! We are so very proud of you, son! After ten years of hard work, you are getting the ultimate reward! We love you!
@Luann: Thanks, mom. It’s really been a life-long process, with you and dad being a major part. Thanks for your love and support through the years!
WOO HOO!
Well done
Congratulations Dan! Wish I could come celebrate w/ you all in June!
@Sharolyn: I wish you could come, too. We’ll take pictures 🙂
Congrats, Dan!
Congratulations Dan!
Congratulations, Dan! Will ya’ll be staying there at the church?
@Dana: Ordination will not mean that I have to change churches. I am fairly sure that I will be staying at Wesley for a while. Of course, I can never say for sure how long I will be in one place… I go where the bishop sends me!
Thank you all for your kind words! I am very thankful to have great friends to share this exciting time in my life with!
Congratulations! This is indeed a cause for celebration. Praise God from whom All blessing flow!!!
