Staff
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!
Hi friends, I was raised in a home that believed in going to church and living a Christian life. During my formative years, I understood that mainly in terms of do’s and don’ts. There was an unwritten formula that ensured if I did a + b + c God would do d. This seemed to work for a while; however, when life got more complicated, I realized that the parameters of this formula were not all encompassing…nor always helpful. I had an “a-ha” moment while participating in a Beth Moore Bible study in my early twenties, called To Live is Christ. What stood out to me were the many hardships that characterized the apostle Paul’s life (cf. Acts 20-28). He certainly would have lived by “the formula,” yet he struggled. It sounds silly, but it was only after examining his life, the good, the bad, and everything in between that I realized the Christian life was not about attaining to a “perfect” life, by adhering to rules. Rather, it is characterized by a genuine relationship with Jesus. This relationship does not guarantee easy circumstances, perfect answers, or perfect results. Instead, the supreme goal of the Christian life is to grow more like Christ. Today, to serve the folks at The Mission, God is using my experience as a wife (20 years), mother (two amazing daughters), teacher (BA in Spanish), and seminary graduate (MA Biblical Exposition) to support others who too, want to embrace what Paul stated so well, “to live IS Christ” (Phil. 1:21a).

I’ve been volunteering at the Mission since nearly its inception and am Blessed to be on staff since 2018. I am an “eastsider” born and raised. I love the seasons that Michigan gives us. Outdoors is my favorite place to connect with Jesus. I have a passion for serving people and love being a wife, aunt and cat mom.
