Make it stand out
Dan Busse
Senior Pastor
Dan is excited to be a part of what God is doing at Capital. He is passionate about helping people take their next step with Jesus. He desires to help people get started, go deeper, and make a difference with their life. He grew up in the Pacific Northwest but did not grow up going to church. After an encounter with the gospel as a teenager, he gave his life to Christ and felt called to go into the ministry. Dan has had a variety of pastoral experiences to draw from as he helps lead Capital. Additionally, he has a master’s degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and another from Liberty Seminary. Dan is married to Morgan, an award-winning author and teacher. Together they have four children.
