Dr. Daniel Vassell

I am Dr. Daniel Vassell Sr., serving as the Mobilize Ministry coordinator, and Marriage and Family Ministry Special Focus facilitator in the Church of God Division of Education. I am teaching this course to support pastors and leaders to better address the overwhelming needs of marriage and family in their churches and parishes. I know pastors are engulfed with many issues in their churches; therefore, this course is designed to provide basic overall information and hope to the church that it will continue to further equip leaders through the resources provided by the Division of Education or any of our other educational platforms.
