Dan Tuttle
Senior Pastor
Pastor Dan was born in Nebraska and grew up on the Central Coast of California. From the age of nine years old, he sensed a spiritual move in his life. He learned to surf at age 12, and since then, has enjoyed many exotic surf spots throughout the world. Pastor Dan’s education includes: Santa Maria High School; Allan Hancock College; Life Bible College and Calvary Chapel Bible College Extension. Dan got saved at age 20, and not long after, he met Susie by handing her a Gospel tract. After dating her for one week, they were engaged, and a year later, they were married. They have two sons, two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren. In Dan’s early years, working for a big company, he drove various kinds of 18 wheeler trucks. Working his way up in the company, he was promoted to Manager of an entire petroleum distribution bulk plant. After several years, the Lord called Dan and Susie into full time ministry. He was ordained at Calvary Chapel Santa Maria in 1995, and commissioned by them to plant a Calvary Chapel in the western village of Nipomo, which is still going strong today.
After a few years, the Lord then called the family to Georgia, where he planted Calvary Chapel Savannah and pastored it for 16 years. In 2012, he and Susie moved back to California for health reasons. Dan then served as Associate Pastor at Calvary Chapel Santa Maria. While there, he served in various ministries, such as leading the 55 and older Excursion Adventures ministry as well as teaching a Community Group Bible Study. However, his main ministry was their Missions Pastor, which took him to: Israel; Katmandu, Nepal; Tijuana, Mexico; Lima, Pucallpa, and the Amazon Jungle of Peru. In 2020, the Covid-19 Pandemic instantly shut down all his ministries. So in 2021, Dan and Susie moved to Bluffton, to be close to their sons and their families. On January 7, 2024, Pastor Dan became the new Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Lowcountry. Next year, Pastor Dan and Susie will celebrate serving in the ministry for 30 years!

Catrina Hanna
Worship Leader, Church Website Coordinator
Catrina is a California native who has served as Worship Leader at Calvary Chapel Lowcountry since December 2025. She has a deep heart for singing to Jesus and leading others into His presence. She ministers through vocals, guitar, piano, ukulele, and cajón—using every gift the Lord has given her to praise Him and guide others in worship.
Before attending Calvary Chapel Lowcountry, Catrina served on the worship team at Decibel Church and previously led worship in both adult and children’s ministries at Calvary Chapel Killeen, Calvary Chapel Golden Springs, Calvary Chapel Pomona Valley, and Calvary Fellowship of El Monte.
As a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Catrina carried significant loss and trauma from her time in service. Those experiences led to many years of living outside of God’s plan and resisting a walk with Him. In 2023, after realizing that life without Jesus is empty, she rededicated her life to the Lord at Decibel Church. Six months later, during a revival night of worship, she asked for prayer for a chronic issue that had affected her since her time in the military. In that moment, she experienced an immediate and powerful night of healing and freedom—marking a turning point that changed the trajectory of her life. From that night on, she joined the worship team and has not stopped singing of God’s goodness.
Since her transformation, Catrina has been passionate about sharing her testimony of God’s healing power, especially in the area of mental health. She has written songs in response to His unfailing patience and mercy. Catrina is also the proud wife of her husband, Cameron, whom she lovingly calls her “good and perfect gift.”
“For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?” — Deuteronomy 4:7

Cameron Hanna
Audio/Visual- Media Team
Cameron Hanna was born in California but raised here in the Lowcountry. He grew up knowing about the Lord and attending church, but as a young man—after walking through intense, life‑altering experiences—he drifted into a prodigal lifestyle. Feeling disconnected from God, he eventually had a radical encounter with the Lord. In a moment of deep brokenness, he felt a tug on his heart and even heard a Voice in his heart say, “You need to go back to church.”
He visited a local church with his family, but in 2022 he found his church home at Decibel Church. It was during a service there that he truly felt the love of God and rededicated his life to the Lord after years of searching for the peace that only God can give. Soon after, he was baptized and began serving—joining the church setup team, the Freedom group, the Wings and Parables study group, and even leading a fishing‑based Bible study and fellowship group. It was in the Wings and Parables group that Cameron and his future wife began talking about the Lord and praying for one another. Shortly after, he asked her to see a Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake movie with him, and two months later they were engaged!
Cameron loves the Lord because he knows the Lord loved and sustained him even when he wasn’t living for Him yet. He often quotes, “He who has been forgiven much, loves much,” and he strives to be the hands and feet of his Savior, Jesus Christ. In November 2025, Cameron joined Calvary Chapel Lowcountry, where he continues to grow in his faith and serve faithfully on the Audio/Visual Media Team. You can usually find him laughing at a good movie, playing guitar, discussing God’s Word, or out on the water reeling in fish.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. " NKJV
