dale wallace | college

I grew up in Houston, Texas and graduated from Baylor University with a BBA in Entrepreneurship and a minor in Religion. In college I spent my summers serving at Kanakuk Kamps as a Counselor, Unit Coordinator, Social Media Director, and Programs Director. After graduating from Baylor, I went on to the Watermark Institute where I worked in student ministry at Watermark Community Church in Dallas. I was then Executive Director of Vertical (college ministry at Baylor) for six years. At Harris Creek, I lead the college ministry with a passion to connect students to the church and see them learn how to abide in Jesus and live authentically in community.
