Our Team

Pastor Dan and Pastor Lori are both ordained elders in the Church of the Nazarene.  Lori was ordained in 2011 and Dan in 2012 on the Hawaii Pacific District.  Prior to accepting the call to pastor Branson First Church in January of 2022, Pastors Dan and Lori were co-pastors on the island of Kauai.  They both first served as co-youth pastors at the Hanapepe Church of the Nazarene starting in May of 2007.  In July of 2012, they accepted the call to become co-lead pastors of the same church when their pastor and mentor Rev. John Mills retired for the second time. 

They have 5 children together who were all born on the island of Kauai.  Daniel is 13, Olivia is 10, Joshua is 9, Liliana is 5, and Nathanael is 2.  They enjoyed the beach and the beautiful weather of Kauai and have since learned to enjoy the snow and changing seasons of the Ozarks.  They are wonderful kids with hearts for the Lord.  They cannot wait to see how God uses them now and in the future.
