Dan Perkins Lead Pastor Phone:408.227.9500 ext. 200 Email: danp@twinoakschurch.com Find Dan on Facebook and Twitter Dan's blog: www.danperkins.blogs.com Born and raised in Northern California, Dan became a Christ follower during high school. After receiving his FCC license to become a radio broadcaster it was during an evening church service Dan heard God's prompting to "Love God's people!" That call led Dan to over 29 years of unusual ministry through the use of contemporary arts, music and church development after graduating with a theology degree from L.I.F.E. Bible College. Upon graduating Dan toured with Jeremiah People and later worked for the Christian Artist's Corporation as a talent agent but soon found himself back in the local church incorporating the knowledge of the entertainment world he gleaned with new forms of communicating the Good News of Christ. While most of Dan's ministry was centered in the performing arts, he had the privilege to work with folks like James Ingram, David Foster, Barry Manilow, Josh Groban and John Tesh while producing award-winning musicals as the Worship Arts Pastor at Southwest Community Church in Indian Wells, California. While there Dan became part of the teaching staff and played a significant role in their executive leadership team and it was in 2006 when he was put in contact with Twin Oaks Church to consider being their new Lead Pastor. Dan brings a lot of experience in developing ministries with a heartfelt passion to develop leaders, teach truth and help change the image of the Christian by helping the Christian transform into the image of Christ.
