Speaker: Daniel Ward
Daniel grew up in Wilmington, NC, where God called him to full-time ministry in the local church. Over the last 25 years, God has shaped his calling and passion for ministry. As his family grew, Daniel realized the importance of serving his family and raising godly young men, with his wife Jessica. Today he serves as the lead pastor of Impact Church in Wilmington, where he is committed to connecting people to the vision and purpose of God.
With a heart for discipleship and a love for seeing others grow in gospel-centered community, Daniel is passionate about equipping and challenging men to pursue Christ wholeheartedly, live with purpose, and lead their families with faith and integrity.
Daniel and his wife, Jess, have been faithfully serving together in ministry since their marriage in 1999. They have three sons—Joshua, Caleb, and Jackson—who keep him young and life full of laughter.

Worship Leader: Walker Capps
Walker serves as one of the pastors at Christ Fellowship Cherrydale, where his primary role is that of leading the church in corporate worship. He is passionate about pastoring the body on and off the stage. Walker is married to Julie, and after graduating from North Greenville University, they spent six years in full-time camp ministry in the mountains of North Carolina. After studying at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, their family was overjoyed to move back to Greenville, South Carolina in 2020. Walker and Julie have four children – Gradie, Ellie, June, and Walt. Walker loves good music, good coffee, running, and being outside with the family.
