God’s blessings have been upon DFC from the very beginning, and He is not through with it yet. You have been blessed with great men of God as pastors over the years. Pastors like Don Wellman, Jim Diehl, Tim Stearman and others. Today, you will be voting on another great pastor. I have known Shawn & Sherri Siegfreid for over ten years. I have held church conferences at his church in California and been in at least six or seven conferences with them over the years. They are winners! DFC will be fortunate and blessed to have them as their lead pastor. I am so excited for this church and its future with your new pastor. I believe God is answering your many prayers regarding your next pastor. Excited about the future,

Pastor Bob
