Pastor Nofo's passion flows from his love for Jesus, and he brings that passion to our local outreach and men's ministries. "Nothing is worth doing if it's not for Him!"

DANNY HAN


Interim Lead pastor

Pastor Danny leads the charge in streamlining our ministries so that the focus remains on making disciples and reaching a new generation for Christ. Danny is passionate about seeing God move in the lives of people. Stories of families and individuals who went from 'here' to 'there' because of Jesus fire him up. He loves to cook, sip coffee with his wife, and play games with his two kids. Danny is also an amateur green thumb, endeavoring to grow fruits and vegetables in his small garden.
