About Patrick

Grace & truth,
in a post-Christian age.

Patrick J. Dailey serves as the Senior Pastor of Ontario Community Church — a historic Japanese-American congregation founded in 1945 on the Oregon-Idaho border. His ministry is defined by a deep commitment to the churched, the unchurched, and the de-churched alike — a bridge-builder across denominations and faith traditions, holding true to the Word of God while navigating the complexities of a post-Christian, postmodern age.

A pastor who balances grace and truth, Patrick holds a B.S. in Business from Hope International University and is pursuing his M.Div. at Methodist Theological School in Ohio on full scholarship — all while serving his congregation full-time, raising five children alongside his wife Amber, and leading a growing digital ministry reaching listeners around the world.
