Phillip Jones (Peej)

Teaching Pastor

Phillip, or Peej, is our teaching pastor and founder of The Dwelling Place. He desires to see people challenged in their faith through sermons that don’t beat around the bush and center solely around Jesus.

He has been married for over 9 years and has one daughter and one newborn son. Peej loves tattoos, rock climbing, and sitting around a fire with friends and family. If you can’t find Peej at home or church, try the local rock gym, he’s probably there!

Ray Daniel

Small Groups Director, The Dwelling Place Lounge Co-Host

Ray Daniel is our outreach leader, acting church elder, and right arm to Peej. He has been serving God faithfully through ministries such as Chi Alpha by leading small groups and one-on-one discipleship.

He recently got married to his wife, Cassidy Daniel, as well as graduated college with a degree in engineering. He desires to see the Gospel taught well and has been the The Dwelling Place Lounge co-host since episode one.

Outside of the office Ray is an outdoorsman through and through and also enjoys rock climbing with friends and hunting birds in Bethel.

Andrew Wilson

Worship Leader

Andrew is our worship leader and acting church elder. He’s been actively involved in music and ministry for many years, and seeing the need for a worship leader, he boldly taught himself guitar in a couple weeks and now leads us in our worship of the Lord in song. He is happily married and is a successful realtor in Anchorage, Alaska during the rest of the week.

Andrew is a huge blessing to The Dwelling Place and his love for God and others is evident every time he directs our worship.

Cassidy Daniel

Social Media Director/Manager and Women’s Small Group Leader

Cassidy Daniel is our women’s small group leader and faithful member of The Dwelling Place. She has been in ministry for several years starting out in her hometown Kotzebue, Alaska, then moving to Chi Alpha in Anchorage and now TDP.

She is married to Ray Daniel and loves photography and video work. She also is a successful climate change activist and has worked along side many big names in climate change and has traveled the world to be a voice of the Inupiaq people in regards of climate. And now she brings that same fire and passion to leading the women of our church in small Bible study groups.

Courtney Wilson

Children’s Director

Courtney Wilson, wife of Andrew Wilson, embodies the joy of the Lord. Through her smile, her demeanor, and evident love for all people, you can’t help but know that Jesus loves you after a simple conversation with her.

She is our children’s director, faithfully ministering to the ones who may one day lead our church and Alaska. She loves being outdoors, small crafts, and fellowship with her community, and she makes a mean dirty chai. If you have kids you want to bring to church, you will be leaving them in the best hands possible.
