DAN DEEBLE // Pastor // Heartland Community Church // Olathe, KS
Dan is the lead pastor of Heartland Community Church, which recently relocated to a larger facility in Olathe, Kansas, in the Greater Kansas City area.  The three-year faith journey which led up to Heartland's relocation started with a capital campaign and a sense of a call to move... but no idea of where, when or how to get there.  With twice the space and five times the parking, Heartland's new site allows them many exciting opportunities to continue "building a church for the unchurched."

Ray, a 20-year veteran of both youth and adult ministry, is the founding pastor of Bayside Church, in Roseville/Granite Bay, CA, which has grown to over 10,000 in just a thirteen-year period. A veteran pastor and visionary leader, Ray believes that the church is called to outreach, spiritual growth, and equipping our leaders. In addition to his tireless efforts at Bayside, Ray serves as president of Developing Effective Leaders and has authored four books, all of which contain his trademark wit and dynamic style. Ray also speaks frequently at conferences, leadership training events, family camps and national youth events.
