Healthy Leaders Build Healthy Churches.

STAY CONNECTED

To advance God's Kingdom by building spiritually healthy and dynamic shepherds through healing hearts, impartation of Biblical truth, and intentional edification.

Healing Hearts

Healthy spiritual leaders are formed through the deep healing work of Christ. Lasting transformation begins in the heart, where God brings restoration, freedom, and wholeness. Through prayer, discipleship, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we seek to help leaders experience deeper healing so they can serve others from a place of wholeness and authenticity.

Imparting Biblical
Truth

We are committed to faithfully teaching and applying God's Word. Scripture is the foundation for spiritual growth, godly leadership, and effective ministry. Through preaching, mentoring, and discipleship, we equip leaders with Biblical truth that transforms lives, strengthens faith, and cultivates Christlike character.

Edification

We believe leaders thrive when they are encouraged, strengthened, and cared for within relationships. We intentionally invest in pastors, ministry leaders, and emerging shepherds through gatherings, trainings, courses, mentorship, encouragement, and spiritual support. By building up those who lead others, we help cultivate healthy, dynamic shepherds who can faithfully advance God's Kingdom.

BUILDING HEARTS
MULTIPLYING DISCIPLES

A practical approach to strengthening ministry leaders around the world.

  • In many parts of the world, pastors faithfully serve with little access to training, encouragement, or support. Through pastoral care and leadership gatherings, we bring together pastors for Biblical teaching, prayer, inner healing, discipleship, and fellowship—providing transportation, lodging, meals, and ministry resources at no cost as we strengthen leaders across Africa and beyond.

  • Through video teachings and ministry courses, Pastor Dan shares decades of Biblical insight, leadership development, and practical discipleship to equip pastors, ministry leaders, and believers around the world with sound doctrine, spiritual wisdom, and practical tools for ministry.

  • Through books, curriculum, and study materials, Pastor Dan provides Biblical resources that help believers grow deeper in their relationship with Christ, strengthen their understanding of Scripture, and equips leaders to faithfully serve and disciple others.

Grow deeper in God's Word through practical, biblically grounded teaching for pastors and leaders.

  • Building Disciples | Introduction

    Pastor Dan Carroll is launching a new teaching series focused on one of the most important questions every believer must answer: What does it mean to faithfully follow Christ?

    Watch

  • Building Disciples | Part One

    Why does the Church exist? Many believers view church as a place for fellowship, encouragement, worship, or community. While those things matter, Jesus gave His Church a much greater mission:

  • Building Disciples | Part Two

    In Part Two of the Building Disciples series, we are challenged us to move beyond simply attending church and examine whether our lives are being transformed by Christ.

    Watch

  • Building Disciples | Part Three

    In Part Three we explore Jesus' words in John 8:31 and reveals a defining characteristic of every disciple: they never stop learning. Jesus said, "If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples."

    Watch

  • Building Disciples | Part Four

    A disciple is more than someone who believes in Jesus or attends church. A disciple is a learner—a person who continues to surrender, grow, and allow Jesus to shape every part of their life.

SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY

Pastor Dan Carroll is the founding pastor of Water of Life Community Church in Fontana, California—a church that began as a small men’s Bible study and has grown into a thriving ministry touching neighborhoods and nations. With more than three decades of pastoral leadership and global ministry experience, Pastor Dan carries a deep calling to invest in the next generation of spiritual leaders.

After 35 years of faithful service at Water of Life, Pastor Dan has stepped into a new season of ministry focused on training, encouraging, and caring for pastors across Africa. His heart is to ensure that those who are leading others are not doing so alone, but are spiritually strengthened, biblically grounded, and supported.

Together with his wife Gale, Pastor Dan continues to invest personally in this mission—serving not for personal support, but out of obedience to God’s call to build up pastors who will shape generations to come.
