Meet The Pastor

Pastor Robert (Bud) Daneker
Bud Daneker has been working as a pastor since 1982, when he took a part-time job as a youth pastor while he was a junior at Messiah College. He graduated from Messiah in 1983, (BS in Humanities) and the church in which he was working with hired him full-time as their pastor. He attended the Evangelical School of Theology and graduated in 1987 (MDiv). Pastor Bud Daneker also worked as a house painter and ran his own painting business for several years during college and grad school years, keeping himself and several employees capable of paying tuition. In a perfect world, I could get a paycheck to hunt, hike, camp and teach the Bible. On days off, I’d continue finding hills to climb on my pedal-powered bike, and lazy country roads with twisty turns for my Honda-powered bike (a 1978 Nighthawk, found in a barn and a box that I got to rebuild).
