Danielle Elliott

Pastor

Danielle Elliott serves as Pastor of Peace Church, where she is passionate about creating a community rooted in compassion, curiosity, and courageous faith. A lifelong learner and educator, Danielle brings her background as a teacher and historian into her ministry, weaving together story, scripture, and real-world connection. She believes church should be a place where questions are welcomed, differences are celebrated, and everyone can experience God’s love without exception. Originally from South Carolina, Danielle has spent her life finding meaning at the crossroads of faith, history, and justice. Her preaching often explores how ancient stories still speak to modern struggles, and her leadership emphasizes hospitality, service, and inclusion. When she is not teaching or preaching, she loves reading, traveling, and spending time with her family.
