Elder Jason Logan has been appointed the new vice president of administration and ministerial director for the Dakota Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
Logan brings a rich background in ministry and leadership to his new role. For the past two years, he has served as the pastor of the Invitation Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church in Dickinson, North Dakota. He and his wife, Grace, married since the summer of 1998, have three adult children: Abigail, an occupational therapy assistant residing in Lincoln, Nebraska, with her husband Drew; Gideon, a pre-med and International Rescue and Relief student at Union Adventist University; and Afton, an archeology major at Southern Adventist University.
Born in New Port Richey, Florida, Elder Logan was the fourth of six children. His family moved to Newcastle, Wyoming, within a year of his
birth, where he grew up and met his high school sweetheart, Grace. Shortly after their marriage, he enrolled in the Black Hills Mission College of Evangelism, completing both the evangelism and pastoral programs. It was during his pastoral training that the “Revelation Promises Hope” evangelistic team was formed, with Elder Logan serving in full-time evangelism for three years across large cities in the United States.
After their first child, Abigail, was born, the Logans settled in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for Bible work, where their son, Gideon, was born. Elder Logan then took a position as a western sales and service representative for Messersmith Manufacturing Inc., working there for 10 years and returning the family to Wyoming. In Wyoming, he co-lay-pastored the Sundance Adventist Church where their third child, Afton, was born. Later the family moved and lay-pastored the Newcastle Adventist Church.
Shortly after moving back to Newcastle, at the age of 27, Elder Logan was diagnosed with cancer. During this time, he stepped down from church leadership but later became the head elder of the Newcastle Church. This role led to an opportunity to become the part-time pastoral assistant.
Logan’s pastoral calling, present since his childhood, took a non-traditional route. After becoming a pastoral assistant, he was called by the Rocky Mountain Conference to serve as the pastor of the southwest district of Wyoming, overseeing five churches. Following his ministry in Wyoming, Elder Logan pastored the Greeley and Elm Haven churches in Colorado for approximately five years before his most recent role in Dickinson, North Dakota.
Elder Logan considers it a great privilege and honor to minister to God’s children. He seeks daily guidance and wisdom to effectively serve on his Savior’s behalf. He and his family look forward to God’s continued leading in their future and are committed to contributing to the growth of God’s kingdom in the Dakotas.
