Daniel Watrous grew up in Houston Texas and attended the Woodland Oaks church of Christ where he was heavily involved with the youth program. Daniel is finishing up his time at Harding University where he studied Kinesiology with a Teacher Licensure and a Bible minor in Ministry. During his Sr. year at Harding he began to work with Village church of Christ as the part time youth minister. Through prayer and consideration he and his wife, Abby Watrous, decided to move to Hot Springs and begin full time ministry at the Village church of Christ as the Youth and Family Minister.  Our goal is for this ministry to be built upon trust in Christ. We want our Families and Youth to be equipped to be servants for God, to be mature in their faith, and to “be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves” (Mathew 10:16) in a world that so often attacks what God values. Come Join us at the Village Church of Christ!
