Dan Patterson has been a resident of
Ventura
County since 1963 when his family moved from the San Fernando Valley to
Camarillo. Dan met his wife Debbie at
Fresno
Pacific
University and the two of them were married in 1981. In 1982 they moved from
Fresno to the city of
Ventura where they have lived ever since. In 1989, their daughter Rachel was born and their son Shawn came along two years later.
Like so many, Dan was for years a churchgoer but not a minister. That all changed in the fall of 1992 when he and his family began attending
Coastline
Bible
Church. Since joining the church in 1993, both Dan and his wife Debbie have become actively involved in a variety of different ministries with both of their children now becoming involved in ministry also.
In July of 2008, Dan was asked to leave a successful career in real estate to become the Associate Pastor of Development. After much prayer and consultation, Dan recognized this to be God’s call upon his life; to serve Christ’s church full-time with the gifts, skills and passion that God has placed within him. That passion is to offer God’s people the encouragement, the opportunities and the biblical training necessary to develop them spiritually; moving them from churchgoer to minister.
