Our Leaders... Our Shepherds

	David Bruner David and Linda Bruner’s first date was for a football game at Harding University. He says, “she made eyes at me the whole game.” They have been married for 32 years and have two children (Justin who is a Youth Minister in Friendswood, Texas and Jessica who works for the prosecuting attorney’s office in Cd’A). David is a Social Worker with a nursing home in Spokane Valley. He has served as one of the elders of Dalton Gardens since 2000. When David thinks of Dalton Gardens he thinks of home and family. He says, “we really are a place to belong, a place to grow as a family and grow in the Lord.”

	Dan Dupey Dan and his wife Teri met at a youth rally in the Tri-Cities and have been married 28 years. They have three children (James, Jennifer and Kelly), all faithful Christians with a sense of ministry in their lives. Both Teri and Dan have been very involved in Christian Education. Dan is the Director of Coeur d’Alene Christian School and Teri is on the faculty. Dan became one of the shepherds at Dalton Gardens in 2006 and believes the congregation is a caring group where the “fruit of the spirit is on display in every Christian here.” He encourages everyone to continually put first things first and “never give up in doing good.” He always encourages folks to “Rejoice in the Lord always.”

	Larry Grow Larry and Jean have been married for over 45 years. They have three children; one teaches at a Medical School, one is a Youth Minister and the youngest manages an Auto Parts Store. Larry served in the US Army for 20 years and moved to Cd’A to “retire” in 1979. He has served as an elder since 1992. Larry is always full of optimism for the future of Dalton Gardens. “This is a wonderful family and truly a place to belong.” Jean is active in several ministries.

	Lamont “Pete” Petersen Pete and Mary both grew up in Mountain Home, Idaho. Pete worked for the Forest Service and then went into the banking business. Mary and Pete just celebrated their 40th anniversary of marriage. They have two children, a son (Lamont E. in Post Falls) and a daughter, Marla who lives in Portland. Pete became an elder in 1998 when he retired from banking.
