About Our Youth Pastor -

Dan Eggum

Get acquainted with the man working with our youth…

My journey started up in the wilds of northern Minnesota. I grew up in Silver Bay on the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior, often spending my days trying to find something (anything) to do.

But like any small town Christian kid, I spent time with friends and was involved in a local youth group. My family attended Palisade Baptist Church where I learned a lot about a guy named Jesus, and where, at the age of 7, I dedicated my life to living for Him. I spent a lot of time in high school volunteering at Camp Lebanon (www.camplebanon.org ), where the seeds of becoming a youth pastor were being planted in me.

After high school, I attending Bethel College in Arden Hills and graduated with a B.A. in Youth Ministry. During this time my call to youth ministry was confirmed. I interned at a few different churches my sophomore and junior years of college, including Trinity Baptist Church of Maplewood and First Baptist Church of Minneapolis, both very different settings from each other, but both terrific experiences in learning more about God and my role in His Kingdom plan.

I’ve been the youth director at Valleybrook since March of 2004, and have had the privilege of working with some incredible young people and equally incredible parents.

My heart and mission is for young people come to know Jesus in a real and powerful way, and to give them the tools to use as they become the men/women God wants them to be.

I love Valleybrook because the people here are authentic and real about their struggles and victories. It’s a community that will challenge and encourage you in your faith, and has a real heart for reaching the Woodbury community for Christ. I am happy to be along for the ride.
