Ed Dean gave his life to the Lord and was baptized in 1998. His heart and passion for lost souls grew as he attended a Life Group and eventually became a Life Group Leader and Coach at Savannah Christian Church, GA. He also served at SCC on the missions team, where he participated and lead short term missions trips. In 2003, he felt the Lord’s tug to return to college and attended Johnson University (formerly Johnson Bible College) where he graduated with a Master’s in Biblical Preaching.
In 2007, he felt called to leave his full-time aviation job to serve as Senior Pastor of Antioch Christian Church in Oconee, GA, where he was ordained. After serving at Antioch, the Lord called him to Colonial Heights Christian Church as an associate pastor, specifically to launch their Life Group ministry.
After successfully launching the Life Group ministry, Ed returned to aviation. He moved to Tucson, AZ, where he served on the “pulpit-fill” team, where he would preach in smaller churches within 2 hours of Tucson. In 2018, he moved to Vero Beach and is currently lead minister (bi-vocational) of Westport Christian Church in Port St. Lucie, FL. His passion for reaching lost souls and his heart for teaching and preaching continues to be the focus of his ministry.
