Meet the Staff Team
Dan Brown
Vicar
Dan has been the vicar at Wadsley since November 2015. He is married to Sarah and they have three children: Esme, Noah, and Aidan. Dan loves seeing God break into people's lives and seeing them become all that they can be. His main priorities in the church are raising up leaders and asking people to dream big. When he's not working, Dan will probably be found spending time with his family. He is a big Sheffield United fan, and strongly believes that if a joke is worth telling once, it's worth telling until somebody begs him to stop.
