Dan Nichols - Associate Pastor ext 224 -  dan@crosspointsumter.org

Dan Nichols has been the Associate Pastor to Families at Crosspoint Baptist Church since June 2003. Dan is married to Shannon Nichols. They were married in August of 1996 and have three children: Katelyn, Sarah Grace, and Stephen. Other than Jesus (and the Word of God), his family is his greatest passion! He also enjoys music (especially playing guitar), the outdoors (hiking, hunting and fishing, camping), and has a special passion for coming along side of men as they grow in their roles of husband and father (since he’s admittedly still growing as well!).

Dan grew up in North Carolina, attended N.C. State University (where he met Shannon), and lived in KY for a couple of years before coming to SC in 1997. He attended Asbury Theological Seminary (Wilmore, KY), and Columbia International University (Columbia, SC). Dan originally spent time in youth ministry settings, but over time that role has expanded to include additional aspects of ministry including community ministry, local and foreign missions, worship leading, and church administration. However, no matter the setting, families capture Dan’s attention, realizing the commands of God for discipleship to take place in the home, as well as the incredible blessings that come from spiritually healthy marriages and families. Dan is also passionate about seeing churches work together as a body of Christ, realizing that God is at work beyond the four walls of the local church.
