Darren has a passion for children that is seen in his efforts to reach kids, minister to families, and to help parents diligently pass on a Christian heritage to their children. Darren has been involved in Children's Ministry for about 20 years and Family Ministry for most of those years. He has served in three different churches as Pastor to Children/Families.
His speaking engagements have included Parenting Seminars, Couples' banquets, Men's retreats, Fathers-and-sons retreats, Fathers-and-daughters dinners, Mothers-and-sons dinners, Family camps, Children's camps, Special Touch camps (adults with mental disabilities), Royal Family Kids Camps (abused and neglected children).
His writings include a number of articles in various publications (Enrichment Journal, Christian Counseling Today, etc.) and a published book, “When God Became ApParent.”
His role is program director of the Children and Family Ministry programs at SAGU, which now includes both bachelor's and master's degrees. Darren and his wife, Wendy, have a mentoring style of ministry which helped them to grow many children and teens into adult children's workers. They operate with the same relational-pastoral-style of ministry as they mentor university students into ministry to children and families.
