Dan Leitz

lead pastor

Here are the things I love. I love Jesus and His Church. I love the Gospel, and its power to transform people. I want to see many come to the saving knowledge of Jesus and learn to walk with him daily. I love God’s word (the Bible), and I love to teach it. I love my family, and I am so blessed to be a husband and a father of three boys and one girl. I love Oceanside and the surrounding cities that God has called me to minister.

Here are the things I don’t like. I don’t like sin. I am a sinner saved by grace. If you are looking for a perfect person to follow, or a perfect church to come to, don’t come to church at CCO. I am a flawed human who makes mistakes…but by the grace of God; I will get back up. A very wise man used to tell us all the time, “failure isn’t falling down; it’s staying down.” If you are a flawed person with issues, welcome to the family. I don’t like churches/pastors that water things down to get people to come. If you come, don’t expect to have your ears scratched (2 Tim 4:3-5). If you want the truth, you will like CCO.

If you have any questions for me or I can be of service to you, shoot me an email or say hi after a service.
