Daniel P. Allen, born in Quakertown, PA on July 8, 1955, was BORN AGAIN at an early age in his dad's church in Philadelphia. He was raised in a minister's home which gave him a bird's eye view of the profession in which he would later be called. It also afforded plenty of opportunities to assist his dad in the ministry. As a teenager and young college student he taught a Sunday School class, led the Junior Church, conducted worship, directed the Bus Ministry, worked in the media-ministry of the church and occasionally preached.

He is a graduate of Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA (BS in Pastoral Ministries); Biblical Theological Seminary, Hatfield, PA (MA in Religious Thought); Lancaster Bible College, Lancaster, PA (D.D. - Doctor of Divinity)

Two years later he joined the staff of the Bible Fellowship Church of Ephrata as Pastor of Education, and a year later became the Senior Pastor where he served until the end of 2004. Presently he is the director of Pinebrook Bible Conference, East Stroudsburg, PA.

During his ministry the Lord has opened many doors of service especially in the area of media. He continues a radio ministry entitled: "Minute Meditations". These minute spots have been aired on stations in Lancaster, Berks and Lehigh Counties. His first venture in televison was a debate format on local cable called: Public Pulpit and aired for five years. For another five years he hosted a program entitled: the bottom line. This half-hour program, shown in south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland, discussed contemporary topics from a Biblical, moral, and ethical perspective. Dan has also been featured in Christian Public Service announcements and voice-over spots. He continues to write letters to various newspapers espousing conservative, Christian views.
