Dan Stringer is a pastor, author, and campus minister in Honolulu, Hawai'i. His book Struggling with Evangelicalism: Why I Want to Leave and What it Takes to Stay (https://ivpress.com/struggling-with-evangelicalism) explores how to grapple with mixed feelings about evangelicalism in order to cultivate healthier, less toxic evangelical spaces. He is ordained in the Evangelical Covenant Church.
Dan serves as the team leader for InterVarsity Graduate and Faculty Ministries (https://www.pacificgfmintervarsity.org/) in Hawai'i and is the Pastor of Theological Formation at Wellspring Covenant Church (https://www.wellspringhawaii.org/) in Hālawa.

Dan was born on O'ahu and grew up in Mililani, Hawai'i, DR Congo, Nepal, and the Philippines as the child of medical missionaries. His maternal great-great-grandfather Chun Quon Yee Hop immigrated in 1886 from Guangdong, China to San Francisco then Honolulu despite the Chinese Exclusion Act. On his dad's side, Dan's 8th-great-grandfather John Stringer came from Cheshire, England to the British colony of Pennsylvania sometime between 1692 and 1737.
