About

Darryl and Charlene Dash

My name is Darryl Dash. I’m married to Char and have two adult children. I’m also oupa (a South African term for grandfather) to one grandson.

This site exists for ordinary Christians and pastors who want to grow. I want to share what I'm learning and encourage you. I want to remind you that your life really does matter.

I’m the senior pastor of Grace Fellowship Church Don Mills in Toronto, and the cofounder of Gospel for Life. I’ve written a few books. I’m also a columnist at The Gospel Coalition Canada.

I earned a Doctor of Ministry Degree at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary under Haddon Robinson.

I love reading, preaching, writing, and exploring. I’m pretty passionate about how God uses the ordinary: ordinary people, ordinary churches, and ordinary practices. I’m on a lifelong quest to become a humble, gracious old man.

I started DashHouse.com way back in 1999.
