Thornton, Danny: - Danny Thornton married his high-school sweetheart, Jean Marie, and fifty years later, they are still enjoying married life. They have two grown daughters and six beautiful grandchildren who are even now teaching, preaching, serving, and worshiping in the vibrant church they founded in 1990: River Church in Syracuse, New York. Danny is especially proud of his two gospels sons: Dan Allen, who pastors River Church in Syracuse, New York, and Justin Metcalf, who pastors Solid Rock Church in Albany, New York.
