Pastor Dan's entire family plays games of various types including Pastor Dan's ongoing First edition D&D(TM) which has now lasted for nearly two and a half decades. Pastor Dan rarely misses Gen Con(TM). New Heights Fellowship has an active Christian games ministry led by Pastor Dan's brother-in-law and Sister-in-law Ron and Becky. Pastor Dan Stevenson is Pastor of New Heights Fellowship Church in Toledo, Ohio. He is a North American Mission Board Church Planter and helped plant New Heights Fellowship.

Getting the good news out that salvation is available FOR FREE through Jesus Christ is the most imporant thing in Pastor Dan's life. The "weapons' of Christ are Love, Mercy, Kindness, and the like. Pastor Dan, his family, and his church try to make it their priority to learn how to wield such weapons to the glory of God.
