OUR TEAM

Dan & Kellie Kopp

Co-founders

Dan & Kellie felt called by God back in 2010 to plant this church. As co-founders, they wear many hats (as you can imagine!). Dan serves as Lead Pastor and does a lot of preaching on Sundays. Kellie serves as the Prayer Director and co-leads our Mission Women ministry. In addition, they are both part of our church's Advisory Board. They have lived in Shelby Township ever since they got married (back in 2004) and are the proud parents of three incredible girls -- Faith, Evelyn, and Elizabeth (ages 16, 14, and 12).  Dan & Kellie have a passion to see the next Great Awakening in America start right here in southeastern Michigan! In their pursuit for revival, they both went on a mission trip to Brazil -- Dan when in 2021 and Kellie went in 2022 -- where they saw God move in amazing ways! God is no respecter of persons and He is no respecter of geography... so may God do in the metro-Detroit region what He did in Brazil!
