Rev. Dan and Karen Shortridge have been greatly used of the Lord at the Dallas Church of God. They have been instrumental in managing the many church property improvements, building a fellowship hall, new sanctuary, remodeling and converting the old church into additional Sunday school classes, adding additional parking, and a Family Life Center. Today, the church has become Host to an Annual Campmeeting in June.

Most of all, over the years they have been faithful in their commitment to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise. Pastor Shortridge came to the Dallas Church of God in 1975 and has served on the Church of God State Youth Board, Evangelism and Home Missions Board, and the State Council. Many have been blessed with his preaching in Camp Meetings, Prayer Conferences and on Foreign Mission Fields. His heart is in proclaiming the truth of God’s word with a love and compassion for the lost. He has proclaimed the gospel on various radio stations allowing his inspiring messages of truth to be heard outside the four walls of the church.

The family photo shows Pastor Dan and Karen Shortridge with their sons Matthew and Daniel, daughter-in-law Deana, grandchildren Jordan & Allison.

Their son Daniel has always been drawn to music, writing and composing many songs. Singing with the group “Adoration,” playing various musical instruments, and leading our choir "the Dallas Sanctuary Singers" in learning new music and songs.

Their son Matthew uses his many talents for the Lord, singing in the group “Adoration,” helping lead our choir, and participating in children's ministries. Matthew is a tremendous vocal artist that will bless your soul with his anointed singing.
