Dean was instrumental in forming the New Bloomfield Fire Department as a tax-supported institution and is very excited in helping the New Bloomfield Community Christian School come to fruition.
Dean explains why he is giving his time and energy to help start NBCCS, saying, “I feel God calls people to serve him in different ways and this is something I believe I'm supposed to do. All of the experiences I've had in my life have led me to this point and place. The world needs educated Christian people trained to lead the next generation. This school is important to provide those godly leaders.”
