Copeland - or simply "Stan" as he's known to most folks - is senior pastor of the 5,000-member, multicultural, urban congregation of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas. Even though he served in Houston and Dallas as a pastor for three decades, his roots are deeply set in rural soil. Some might say he's really just a good ol' boy from a small town in East Texas-Chandler, population 2,959. His parents, sister and her family and most of their kin still live there. He makes the hour and a half drive to "home" every chance he gets. He has a farm outside of Chandler and is a co-owner of the Stillwater Farm Market Store and Dairy Shop in town.view less
