During this time, he studied philosophy at University of South Carolina and received his Masters of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Dan went on to serve as the associate pastor of an Anglican church in Jacksonville, Florida for six years until he and his wife, Carrie, moved to plant a church in Portland in the summer of 2020. Maine is home to the second-most post Christian community in the country, and it is by God's grace that Rise Church is now a growing, healthy church in the heart of downtown Portland.
