Personal

• Daniel’s roots in the United Church of Christ run very deep. He represents the third generation of UCC Ministers in the Krueger family. This chain started with his Grandfather who served as a UCC Minister as well as the first President of Lakeland College. His Uncle and Father were also involved in serving the UCC in Ministerial and Lay positions. To put it mildly, this is not Daniel’s first rodeo.

• Daniel and his wife Brenda live in the Sheboygan area. They have been blessed with 4 daughters.

• The performing arts are a very important part of Daniel’s life and ministry. He plays bass guitar and sings in a band and writes his own music. Storytelling features greatly in his ministry.
