Back Corner – Details, episodes & analysis

Pastor Dan Lamos has been serving Jesus in the Saint John region and at Kings Church for a long time. He currently serves Kings as a Sr. Associate Pastor, but he’s done pretty much every job here between that and janitor, though not in the sequence you might suspect. In addition to his faithful service here, he has been a significant influence on generations of Christians in general and on pastors. Dan’s ministry is marked by faithfulness, humility, gentleness, a hunger for revival, sensitivity to the Spirit, and, perhaps most of all, prayer.
