"I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God."

What I Do

It’s not a career. It’s a calling.

Life-Related Bible Teaching

Ask anyone who has heard Pastor Dan teach and they will tell you that he is truly gifted by God. Whether it is in a counseling office, a pulpit, a conference workshop, or a college classroom, Pastor Dan makes the Bible easier to understand and apply.

Funerals

Nobody wants to attend a funeral. That’s why a confident and compassionate leader makes all the difference. Pastor Dan has led more than 1300 funerals and trained hundreds of pastors, funeral practitioners and first responders in grief-related ministries. Check out the website dedicated to his funeral ministry here.

Guided Tours

Pastor Dan has hosted more than 20 tours to the Holy Land. The way he prepares his groups for international travel creates a life-changing experience for every person who travels with him.

Writing

A Deeper Dive

What we do flows out of who we are. If you want a better understanding of what makes Pastor Dan tick, how he views his world, and how he is wired to lead people, dive in.

Dan Lloyd

Husband | Father | Pastor

I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska (before it was a state) and eventually moved to Auburn, Washington as a boy when my mother was hired to be Miss Margaret on the Romper Room television show in Tacoma.

I graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School (Federal Way, WA), Biola University (Bachelor of Science: Christian Education), Talbot School of Theology (Master of Arts: Marriage and Family Ministries), and Corban University School of Ministry (Doctor of Ministry: Strategic Leadership). I also did some post-graduate work at the Jerusalem University College in Jerusalem, Israel.

In 1988 I planted SeaTac Bible Church (now Westhill Church). In 2018, I planted Cascadia Church in Federal Way, WA. I taught as a volunteer instructor at Tacoma Bible College, Cascade Bible College in Bellevue, the Strategic Bible Institute in Lipetsk, Russia, Saint James Bible Academy in Minsk, Belarus, and African Bible College University in Yekepa, Liberia (where my students nicknamed me “Walking Bible”). I am currently a visiting instructor at Ecola Bible College.

For many years I taught workshops and seminars at The Northwest Ministry Conference. I am still actively involved as a speaker at Missions Fest Seattle.

I have led more than 1,300 funerals. My book Leading Today’s Funerals (Baker Books, 1997) is being used around the world as a training resource. I also train pastors, police and fire chaplains, and others in the funeral industry for more compassionate and effective funeral leadership.

Based on my extensive study, travel experiences, and knowledge gained as a tour host in Israel, Greece, and Jordan, I developed and wrote The Glory of Israel – a seven-week self-contained, multi-media teaching series that equips tour hosts with the confidence to lead life-changing Bible journeys for both novice and experienced travelers.

When I am not teaching or traveling, I enjoy river fishing in Washington, Montana, and Alaska. Joanne and I have four grown children and six grandchildren.
