Meet Our Staff

Dan Spacek - Pastor
Dan took the lead of FCCA in March 2012. He brings with him a passion for leading creative worship. With the kind of sincerity and openness that makes newcomers feel welcome and safe, Dan speaks in spiritual ways without sounding overly “churchy.”

Central to Dan’s approach to worship is attending each others’ story. Each of us has a vital story to tell – we have all experienced joys and sorrows, somewhere along the line our faith has been strengthened and/or challenged. Dan invites people to share from that deep place whenever the community gathers—whether in worship, service, education or fellowship. His attentive listening not only encourages people to open up and share more deeply, but to see their connection to the ongoing story of the faith.

Stories and messages in the Bible touch us so deeply that their stories become our stories. God is still speaking, and creating more sacred stories through each of us. As we more deeply attend that journey, we are opened to profound personal growth and new movement within our wider community.

Dan completed seminary in 2002, graduating from Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA. FCCA is the third church he has served. In addition to his church work, he finds joy in his family, music, and in adventurous outdoor activities.

Married to Andrea since 2010, Dan revels in the role of being Dad to their two sons. He enjoys both contemporary and traditional Christian music, and loves to contribute to worship through drama, singing, and playing the ukulele or harmonica. An active participant in sports, Dan is still a “diehahd” follower of his New England teams, and also enjoys exploring the vast beauty of the Auburn area, staying fit enough to keep up with his sons and wife, and looking for the next spirit-lifting adventure.

Becca and her family joined FCCA shortly after moving to Auburn in 2012. She joined the staff in 2018 as the Sr. High Youth Leader and loves working with our youth.  She is regularly astounded by how open and contemplative they are.  She took the position of DCYFM in Spring of 2019 and is looking forward to working with our Sunday school aged children as well.  She hopes to bring her love of music and nature into our Sunday school classroom!
