Pastor Dan Elmore is back with us. Dan became our Associate Pastor, again, in 2015 after serving here previously 2010-2012.
During the time in between, he started a church from scratch, and then helped another existing congregation reach out to new people, especially those who don’t “do church.” He brings those same goals to Pender.
He is passionate about leading people to discover more about God. In doing so, we always discover more about ourselves (funny how it never works the other way around).
When Dan isn’t thinking “church,” he’s enjoying time with his family; his beautiful wife Bekah, his daughter Chloe and his son Mark. They love to take advantage of all the great family activities in the NOVA/DC region.
Please join us this Sunday, July 5, in worship at the 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 Services.
Pastor Dan Elmore will be preaching at all three services.
Title: “Don’t Believe Me, Just Watch” Scripture: Proverbs 16:9 Description: When Pastor Dan left 3 years ago, little did he know he’d be returning to serve at Pender again! Join us as he shares about what he’s been up to and where he senses God leading into the future.

An Annual Conference is a regional body that governs much of the life of the “Connectional Church.” Sound confusing? We agree. Chuck will try to make sense of “Annual Conferences” when he makes a conference call.

Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. Often it feels like we live in a crowded world – there are many of us! And yet, each of us is one . . . unique . . . loved as a child of God. Do you ever wonder about your uniqueness, how you stand out, what makes you distinctive? Is it the way you dress, or walk, or say “Y-All,” or chew on an ear of corn? Jesus has def […]

For some, their high school or college journey has come to an end, and the next stage of life begins with great hope and expectation! We celebrated these achievements at our 11a […]
Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. When we talk with each other about taking risks, we often hear phrases like all or nothing or go big or go home or taking a big leap . Yet if we were honest, we would need to admit that sometimes our risking and trusting are very calculated, weighing our options and our potential gain or loss. As the apostle Paul conclu […]

Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. One of the things we all know about preschool kids is that we rarely have to wonder if they are “in the house” with us. They have many amazing and sometimes alarming ways of letting us know they are present. Our worship theme on “households” has been looking at the impact that Jesus makes when “Jesus Is In the House!” B […]
Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. Ever heard that saying, the family that prays together, stays together? So if this is true we might find ourselves wondering why so many families are flying apart! And then there is the church – a big family of believers, and they pray a lot too. So why is the church family flying apart? Our worship series is taking a c […]
Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. Jesus is in the house! Did you know that? If we claim to follow him, Jesus is in our household of faith, the Church, and in our households of family and friends, however they are composed. So then, how are we to live within our households if Jesus is there? This is the fundamental question that Paul addresses in his fir […]
