Dana Logue - Children's Ministry Director
Because both Jim and Dana are pastor's kids, they moved around quite a bit growing up. Louisville, Colorado, is where Jim spent his childhood before his family moved to the Northwest. Dana was raised in the swamps of the South, eating fried okra and bread pudding, and then graduated from high school in the Midwest. They met as students at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. Jim majored in Christian Ministries while Dana earned a double major in Psychology and Sociology. After college, Jim served in the U.S. Army, then earned a master's degree from Southwestern Seminary.
In 2002 the Logues moved to Denver. They sensed the Lord leading them to Stapleton in 2003 to try to reach this community. Jim and Dana are grateful and humbled to be a part of what God is doing at Stapleton Fellowship Church. Their passion is missions! They have served in Russia, Wales, Brazil, and Nepal. Married in 1993, they have two daughters: Taylor and Gabrielle.
In addition to spending time with his three girls, Jim enjoys being with friends, seeking adventure of any kind, and says he regularly beats Pastor Dean in golf. He's a Johnny Cash fan, attempts to eat pizza every day, and his hobbies are too numerous to mention. Dana is a voracious reader. She is still trying to decipher the TV show "Lost", and, she loves people! The Logues expect this new chapter in their lives to be the most exciting yet!
