Pastor Daniel Flores and family
Daniel was born in Redlands, CA and raised in Nuevo, a small farming community in the Inland Empire of Southern California. He gave his life to Jesus Christ at the age of 18 during his freshman year at the University of California, Riverside. In college, he sensed a call to ministry, met his future wife Jolene through his active involvement with Cru, and started volunteering to teach 5th grade Sunday School at a local church. After graduating from UCR with a degree in history and classics, he immediately enrolled in seminary at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, where he earned a Master of Divinity. He married Jolene in 2005 and together they have three children, Christian (15), Jonathan (13), and Evangeline (8).
Daniel is ordained with the Missionary Church, an evangelical denomination dedicated to church planting and world missions. He has served in local church ministry for 19 years in multiple roles. He has been a youth pastor, associate pastor, and most recently served as a lead pastor in Healdsburg, CA. Additionally, he has taught theology classes to pastors and lay leaders in Mexico through Hope International University. He has also worked in the California public school system as a guest educator and currently teaches in the Windsor Unified School District. Daniel loves to travel, enjoys bacon and donuts, and has a passion for fitness. He has been learning how to roast coffee at home and experimenting with BBQ recipes in the backyard. He especially loves hiking and exploring the beautiful scenery in Sonoma County and Northern California with his family. Life Verse: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
