Dan
Wiard, Director of Education,
is a certified educator with twenty plus years of experience. He holds
an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s degree in Christian
Education. His previous ministries include serving as an educator in both
small and large churches, plus serving on a Presbytery staff as educator.
One aspect in ministry Dan particularly enjoys is working with young people.
It is not unusual to find Dan "playing" with the youth, whether it is a
game of mud football or a game of chess; it's all a part of the work he
enjoys. His favorite food is lasagna. His favorite sport is "anything with
action and you don't have to jump too high! Cycling is GREAT!" His favorite
"Thing" to do away from work is to spend time with wife and kids!
