Governing Elder Dan Hardaway recently celebrated 25 years with Campus Crusade for Christ, where he has served in many roles—field staff, international group travel coordinator, travel manager, director of new strategy development—and currently as director of strategic partnerships. “I connect with companies in publishing, music, and movies to find resources that will help us to be more effective on the local level,” Dan explains. One of his projects with Campus has been the Freshman Survival Kit, of which 1.3 million have been distributed.

Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dan became a Christian at age 16 through the influence of his sister in August 1976. He and his wife, Lorraine, have been married since 1985 and have four children: Clark, an undergraduate student at the University of Florida; Adam, an undergraduate student at Florida State University; Abby, an udergraduate student at; and Carrie, high school students. Dan and Lorraine joined Northland in 1991 and led a home group for 10 years. “Lorraine and I love working in ministry together,” he says. “Dealing with young people has been a blast for the last 25 years of ministry. Recently, being in Northland’s Marriage Prep Class as mentors has been one of the most fun aspects of our ministry.”

Dan also has taken three distributed journeys with Northland—to Namibia, Panama and Brazil—and was accompanied each time by one of his children. He concludes: “I am thrilled with where we are headed as a church and to serve in this new way.”
