Dan's Bio

Pastor Dan Wright has served as Associate Pastor of New Life Community Church of Hope since November 1998.  He and Pastor Randy first met in Phoenix while Randy was there attending a local church during his reconciliation process.  They met at the church Dan was attending which led to their friendship, courtship and marriage. Dan's Morman roots were deeply ingrained in him, however, his desire for all God had for him became very apparent as Randy further introduced him to Bible truths regarding the New Testament salvation experience.  Randy had the privilege of baptizing Dan on Dan's birthday, May 4th, 1997, in Doug Clanton's swimming pool with approximately 35 people witnessing.  This was a turning point in Dan's Christian experience.  That same summer Dan was baptized with the Holy Ghost during a Sunday night service at Casa de Cristo, Phoenix.  Since that time, Dan has become an avid student of the scriptures and a mighty prayer warrior.  He now teaches the Sunday morning Bible Class at New Life and is loved by the saints in his home church.  He was licensed with RPI in 2001 during the General Conference in  Fort Worth, Texas.  He now serves as General Secretary of RPI.  Dan is known for his hospitality and those who meet him love him.  He especially loves to mentor and encourage pastor's spouses by helping them understand and appreciate the calling that is on their lives as they serve beside their pastor/partner.  His calming spirit allows people to feel immediately comfortable in his presence.
