PASTOR DAN
Greetings! My name is Dan Gifford. I'm the Youth Pastor here at Sonlight Church in Chesapeake, VA. I married the most beautiful woman on June 21, 2008. Her name is Tabitha. I was called to be the Youth Pastor of our LIFT Youth Ministry back in November of 2009. I graduated from Cedarville University in 2006 with a B.A. in Youth Ministry and have been in vocational ministry ever since. I was ordained into ministry on August 1, 2010.
MY MISSION
I desire to lead youth into a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ; to help guide them out of the box labeled "Christian" and into a new journey as they learn to fully surrender their lives to Christ and become true followers of Him. My mission is to encourage youth to commit their lives to Christ, to grow through His Word, and to serve Him with their lives.
MY LIFE VERSE
"Take delight in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you." - Psalm 37:3-5
