CENTRAL PASTOR OF KID MINISTRIES

Daybreak Church is a multi-site Christian & Missionary Alliance church located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, just west of the capital Harrisburg. Their model of leadership is Elder Directed, Staff Led, with a Governing Board, Ministry Board, and a Lead Pastor team. Ric Jacobs serves as the Lead Vision Pastor and primarily teaches at the Gettysburg Pike Campus, while Shawn Andrews serves as the Lead Equipping Pastor and primarily teaches at the Orrs Bridge Campus. The church currently sees around 1,100 in total Sunday morning attendance between the two campuses, with Gettysburg Pike seeing around 850 in attendance and Orrs Bridge with 250. Both campuses offer two identical modern styled worship, both in person and online. They are planning to launch their third campus in the next year and are structured for growth.



Daybreak is known for being a place where people are welcomed to come as they are, but not stay that way. A place where people can engage in vital relationships, develop and grow. A place to live a vibrant life of faith as they discover and deepen a life-changing relationship with Jesus. The church desires to reach families in their communities and offer an incredible discipleship-based Kid ministry. Nursery, Preschool and Elementary environments are offered at the two identical services at each campus, under the leadership of part time campus Kid Directors.
