Dan and Kristin Hayes have been joyfully serving Christ with Great Commandments Ministries since 2004. Prior to joining the GCM staff, Dan and Kristin were discipled within a community of believers on their college campuses.

It was during these formative years that they developed a passion to follow Jesus and a love for this age group.  Together they want to see more young adults loving Jesus, studying His Word and learning how to live boldly for Him in this world. They’ve had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of ACTS students for over a decade now! Dan serves as the ACTS Director and oversees GCM’s weekly college outreach. Kristin is the “creative genius” behind the graphic design for Great Commandments and is also engaged in discipling women alongside her own four children (Eden, Lucas, Noah, and Shepherd). The Hayes seek to pour themselves out in love; listening, counseling, exhorting and encouraging students to a deeper walk with Christ.
