SENIOR PASTOR

Senior Pastor Mark Ryan Danner Sr.

Bearer of the Mantle | Keeper of the Lineage | Apostolic Shepherd

Pastor Mark Ryan Danner Sr. stands in sacred alignment with God’s divine order of succession — a steward of spiritual lineage, a carrier of apostolic mantle, and a shepherd appointed for such a time as this. Bringing more than 30 years of faithful ministry, Pastor Danner represents the continuity of Kingdom legacy: what was prayed over, prophesied, imparted, and preserved is now being released through his leadership.

A native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Pastor Danner answered heaven’s call in 1992. He was licensed in 1996 under the late Reverend Clarence Joyner Jr., and ordained in 1998 by Bishop M. L. Jackson while stationed in Hinesville, Georgia. These moments marked the beginning of a divine lineage transfer — where spiritual authority, pastoral responsibility, and prophetic assignment converged.

Pastor Danner earned his Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from South Carolina State University, where he was distinguished as a Military Graduate and commissioned as a Second Lieutenant through ROTC. He has honorably served in the United States Army for over 29 years and currently holds the rank of Colonel.

Further prepared for strategic leadership, Pastor Danner obtained a Master of Arts in Organizational Art from Air University and a Master of Science in National Resource Strategy from the National Defense University. These academic foundations mirror his apostolic grace: the ability to build systems, govern wisely, and lead God’s people with clarity and vision.

For decades, Pastor Danner served faithfully under multiple pastors and bishops — embracing every assignment with humility and excellence. His ministry journey includes Youth Pastor, Armor Bearer, Minister of Music, Sunday School Superintendent and Teacher, Bible Study Instructor, Christian Education Director, Minister of Singles Ministry, Minister of Men’s Ministry, and leader of Gospel services while deployed overseas.

His heart burns for discipleship, generational empowerment, evangelism, intentional community engagement, and raising spiritually mature believers who operate in both power and purpose.

Pastor Danner is joyfully married to his wife, Latandra M. Danner, of 26 years. Together they steward a legacy through their two sons, Deshon and Mark Jr.

Pastor Mark Ryan Danner Sr. is not merely stepping into a role — he is receiving a mantle. He is not starting anew — he is continuing a divine lineage. He is a bridge between generations, a keeper of sacred trust, and a Kingdom builder anointed to lead God’s people forward in power, purpose, and promise.
