Dan Nichols has been the Associate Pastor to Families at Crosspoint Baptist Church since June 2003. Dan attended N.C. State University and graduated in May of 1992 with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Communication. After taking three years off to discern God’s direction in ministry, Dan attended Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore , KY , where he received his Masters of Arts in Youth Ministry in May of 1997. Currently, Dan is attending Columbia International University , nearing completion of his Masters of Divinity degree.

During the last 14 years of ministry, Dan’s time has been spent primarily in youth ministry settings (volunteer middle school worker, part-time youth director, youth intern, full-time youth minister, and more). Over time that role has expanded to include additional aspects of ministry including community ministry, local and foreign missions, worship leading, and church administration. Whether in a youth ministry setting, on the mission field, or in a worship setting at church, families capture Dan’s attention, realizing 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.

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, his family is his greatest passion!
