HOPEWELL STAFF

PASTOR DAN PETERS – LEAD PASTOR

Pastor Dan’s journey began in a small Pennsylvania town, where an unexpected invitation at the age of fifteen changed everything. A friend invited him to attend a movie at the local theater — but instead of previews, popcorn, and a story-line, Dan encountered the life‑changing message of Jesus Christ through the preaching of Billy Graham. That night, God reshaped the direction of his life and directed him into ministry.

After high school, college, and seminary, Dan answered God’s call to serve his first congregation in Pennsylvania. During his college years he met Janet, the “best human being he’s ever known,” and they married in 1976. Together, over the decades, they have poured their hearts and lives into families, neighbors, and friends in four Churches, including twenty‑nine years of faithful ministry in the state of Connecticut.

The Lord has blessed Pastor Dan and Janet with four children, eleven grandchildren, and a lifetime of joy in serving people. Their story is one of grace, a clear calling from Heaven, and steadfast devotion to the LORD Jesus Christ.
