Rick Danner, Sr. - Senior Pastor
 Rick
Danner Sr. grew up in Richmond, CA. Upon
graduating from High School he attended Diablo
Valley Community College and then Bay Cities
Bible College in Oakland CA where he receive his
bachelor of Arts degree in Theology. From
there he attended Western Seminary in Portland
Oregon where he received a masters degree in
Church Education.
While attending
Western Seminary he became one of the founding
teachers at North Portland Bible College.
Pastor Danner is
married to Carol Crawford and they have a
blended family of seven children; Tricia, Ricky
Jr, Carlene, David, Daniel, Bianca and Michaella.
Demonstrating a model of
integrity among Christian leaders, Pastor Danner
has managed to live out his convictions and stay
committed to his family over the long haul of
his life in ministry. Remaining humble and
down-to-earth in the face of great success has
earned him the respect of religious leaders and
world leaders alike.
Pastor Danner has
a tremendous passion for God’s word coupled with
a love for God’s people. He has a contagious
spirit of generosity that flows through every
facet of his ministry. Having received his
mandate from God, Pastor Danner, obediently
fulfills his calling as Senior Pastor of New
Light Christian Church.
What is
important:
"First
family - Unity - Togetherness. I have a
Christian world-view. I believe the Lord must
be in control of your life in order to have
purpose for living. I also feel that marriage
is an important element of family life.
Vision:
My vision for ministry involves having a place
of worship that is committed to meeting the
total needs of the person. i.e. emotional
spiritual and physical needs. Having church to
me involves more than going to a building on
Sunday morning.
First Lady
Carol Danner
Carol assists her husband, Pastor Rick Danner,
in one of the most diverse and dynamic
ministries of their region, New Light Christian
Church. She supports the Women’s Ministry of New
Light and the church office, providing
leadership and direction.
With over a decade of experience in the Gospel
Music Industry, she started and heads up
Back2BackPR International; which provides public
relations solutions for gospel artists.
My hope is that everyone; men, women, and
children will see they have potential in Christ.
There is no limit to God’s ability in our lives,
if we believe in our hearts, confess it with our
mouths we can do awesome things in and for His
Kingdom.
Many Blessings
