Rock Solid Youth Ministries: Pastor Dan and Heather May

 

 

 

Pastor Dan has been the Youth Pastor of Church on the Rock since September of 2001, and a certified minister with the Assemblies of God since 2005.  Pastor Dan received Jesus Christ as his Savior when he was 12 years old while attending an independent Pentecostal church.  He also graduated from the Christian school affiliated with that church in 1989.

During a nine year enlistment in the United States Air Force, Dan drifted away from his walk with the Lord and stopped attending church altogether.  After being honorably discharged from the Air Force in July 1998, he returned to the Versailles area and began attending Church on the Rock. 

 

 

 

 

 

Shortly after that he rededicated his life to the Lord and eventually began serving in the church, first as an adult Sunday school leader and later as a Life Group leader.  Pastor Dan was asked to take over as the Teen Cell Group leader in 2001 and later experienced the call of God on his life to become a Youth Pastor.  Pastor Dan is currently a bi-vocational youth pastor and also works as a production supervisor at Mirrus Corp. in Versailles, IN .

Heather grew up in a Pentecostal home and accepted Christ at an early age. She was very involved in her youth group and other church activities during her childhood and felt the hand of God upon her to be involved in ministry. She was homeschooled for most of her high school career and married Pastor Dan right after graduation. They were married in December of 1992 and are the proud parents of Austin, born in September 1993 and Aly born in April of 1996.

Heather is very active in homeschooling both of her children as well as being an integral part of the youth ministry at Church on the Rock. She also sings with the church worship team and is the Co-leader of a local homeschool support group.
