Dan Krause
Lead Pastor & Elder
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about Berean Baptist Church! I started my role as Lead Pastor here on February 16, 2020. I probably don’t have to tell you what happened the next month! Even with a pandemic starting a month after getting to Berean, God has blessed us with growth. God is so good to us!
My family and I moved to Mansfield from Wasilla, Alaska. We spent a total of 11 years ministering in one of the most beautiful places on earth. We are so thankful to have played a small part in what God is doing in Alaska and we are equally excited to be here now.
I hope you will get a chance to meet my family in person (I think they are pretty great)! My wife Kelli and I have been married since 1997 and we have four kids. Ashley (husband Edwin) and Hanna (husband Vinnie) are our girls and Elijah (wife Cami) and Isaiah are our boys. I am blessed with five grandkids. That’s right, I have five grandchildren! And let me tell you, grandkids are way better than regular kids!
In addition to working at Berean, I have the privilege to serve as chaplain for the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League.
If I am out of town when you visit, chances are high that I am off somewhere on a missions trip. I am passionate about what God is doing throughout the world and I count it a joy to be a small part in it!
Can’t wait to meet you in person and hear your story!
