Dan sarkipato

Interim Pastor

Dan grew up in Ely, Minnesota, and married his high school sweetheart, Merrilee, while in the Navy band (trombone) in Norfolk, Virginia.

They have four children, three-in-laws, and eight grandchildren. He is passionate about the transforming power of the gospel, and the importance of being authentic, and God's call to be disciples who make disciples. 

He enjoys music, playing the bass guitar, and running. He and Merrilee enjoy hiking, snorkeling, and summer rides with their top down in their little red VW bug Happy Car.
