Dauncey to Lead New Community Engagement Department

Kaleb Eisele
By Kaleb Eisele, December 21, 2023

On Jan. 1, 2024, Mike Dauncey — better known as just "Dauncey" — will join Oregon Conference as director of a new department, community engagement. Working alongside the outreach ministries team, Dauncey comes uniquely qualified for this new role.

Dauncey has spent the past 10 years deeply involved in innovative community service initiatives, including the Acts of Kindness initiative in Langley, British Columbia. AOK has organized oil changes for single mothers, extreme home repairs, summer camp sponsorships, free dental days and much more.

Most recently, he has served as the associate pastor for media and outreach at Church in the Valley in British Columbia, and has served as the creative director for It Is Written’s TV ministry in Canada.

We look forward to the many ways God will work through Dauncey, Oregon Conference’s community engagement and outreach ministries and our greater church family in the coming years to connect with our neighbors and share the love of Jesus.

The Gleaner is a gathering place with news and inspiration for Seventh-day Adventist members and friends throughout the northwestern United States. It is an important communication channel for the North Pacific Union Conference — the regional church support headquarters for Adventist ministry throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000. Through its extended online and social media presence, the Gleaner also provides valuable content and connections for interested individuals around the world.
