Dan Coe serves as senior pastor for First Baptist Alexandria. Dan is a native of Middle Tennessee. However, his ministry travels have included a multiple-year stint in the Middle East, where he served in church planting alongside his wife, Julia, and their four children. Dan surrendered his life to the Lord in 2005, and it wasn't long after that he began to sense a call to gospel ministry. Dan's ministry over the years has included College Ministry Leadership; Family Ministry Coordinator; work in halfway houses and jail ministries; and serving as a teaching elder of a church plant in Israel. Dan received his B.A. at Middle Tennessee State University and completed his graduate work at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS). He is currently a student in the SEBTS Doctor of Ministry program. Dan's passions include reading,  running, Tennessee sports teams, and spending time outdoors with his family. 

 

Among Dan's favorite Bible verses is Jeremiah 20, verse 9: "But if I say, 'I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,' his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot."
