Ministers

Dan loves to preach the Word of God and, after more than 25 years in full-time ministry, he still can’t believe he gets paid to do so! Since the summer of 2009, he has considered himself to be “livin’ a dream” by serving the Concord Road church as their Preaching Minister. In addition to his preaching and teaching ministry, Dan also likes to dabble in writing books on theology. He received his Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree in Applied Theology from Southern Seminary, and he also has advanced degrees in Biblical Studies from Indiana University--Fort Wayne. He met his wife, Leola, when they were both undergraduate students at Lipscomb University way back in the late 80s and they have two grown children. On the personal side, Dan likes hiking, reading historical fiction, watching action movies, and plotting new travel adventures with Leola. Dan prefers cats over dogs and he is an avid Alabama football fan!

A Brief Message From Our Elders

Our only creed is Christ. Our sole source of authority for all that we do is God’s Word, the Bible, to which we are totally committed. On any matter where the Bible speaks, we are firmly committed to its commands, precepts, and principles. We are committed to the authority of the scriptures teaching salvation by grace through faith, repentance, and baptism by immersion for the remission of sins.

We are committed to the one church that Christ established, the autonomy of the local congregation, and to the New Testament pattern of worship. Each first day of the week the church assembles in worship with a-cappella singing, observance of the Lord’s supper, liberal giving, prayer, and teaching of God’s inspired word.

All Concord Road Church elders are available for counseling on Biblical and spiritual matters; we believe it is important to know and to listen to each member of the congregation; we urge one another to be considerate and accepting of others so that all can draw closer to God and become more effective servants; there is wisdom in the plurality of elders because it allows for different viewpoints and ideas; and finally, we are deeply committed to seeing that what is fed to the church is scripturally correct whether taught from the pulpit, in the classroom, or in any other teaching opportunity.
