First Baptist Church of Devine

Dan Newburg is excited about sharing the life-transforming, unconditional love of God to Devine and beyond. He began to serve as pastor of FBC Devine in January 2020, after the Lord called Dan out of a secular career which most recently saw him leading software development teams. Dan graduated from Logsdon Seminary with a Master in Divinity with a concentration in pastoral ministry in May 2020.

He was raised in South Texas, a graduate of Natalia ISD and he also received his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. After Christ, Dan’s greatest love is for his wife Yvette and his daughters, Bethany and Lily. He also enjoys traveling and reading, along with conversations over a cup of coffee.

Bro. Steve came to us as interim pastor in June. He is an adjunct professor at Wayland Baptist University in San Antonio and has served as pastor and interim pastor in other places. We are most fortunate he was called to be our interim pastor.

He is in the office on Mondays and Wednesdays. Come by and visit with him.
