Danny Rogers, Lead Pastor Danny began serving at New Song Church in January, 2006, as Worship Arts Pastor. Over the next four years it became increasingly clear that God was stirring a passion in his heart to teach, preach, and develop leaders. By early 2010, the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church recognized this calling of God upon Danny's life and appointed him Lead Pastor of New Song Church. Danny is a life-long learner. He graduated with a B.A. from Leavell College in New Orleans, LA, and earned a Masters Degree in Christian Education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. His personal mission statement is "To Share and Inspire Life in Others".

Danny and his wife Karri were married in 1996, and have two beautiful children. They hail from the New Orleans area and feel right at home on the Crystal Coast (though they still miss crawfish!). His hobbies include, playing and writing music, sailing, and SCUBA diving. You can email him at dannyrogers@newsongchurch.tv.
