Dan Knickerbocker was raised in a church-planting family, where ministry was a central part of life. His parents started six churches and five Christian schools, and all five of their sons now serve in ministry. That legacy shaped his heart for the Lord and for people.
He helped plant Landmark Baptist Church in Berlin, NY during Bible college, then went on to start and pastor Annsville Baptist Church for 23 years. Brother Knickerbocker also helped launch churches in the Bronx and Beacon, NY, and co-directed the Fundamental Baptist Forum radio program in NYC.
Brother Knickerbocker has served in leadership roles with the International Fellowship of Fundamental Baptists and directed ministry training programs and youth camps in Texas.
Today, with over 23 years in evangelism, Brother Knickerbocker travels, preaching the Gospel and encouraging local churches, and is the Vice President of the Baptist Ministry Training Center located at NorthSide Baptist Church in Nolanville, TX. He and his wife, Anne Marie, live in Harker Heights, TX and are members of the NorthSide Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Adam Garber.
