Dan Milford has served as pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Sand Springs since June of 1999. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University in College Station, TX and Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur (part of Greater Atlanta), GA. Dan is happily married to Nadia Rosales, his wife of 16 years, and is the proud father of Austin, Joshua, and Alexis. Whenever possible, he enjoys camping, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, soccer, basketball, and other outdoor activities with his family.

Dan’s promising athletic career and childhood dream of becoming the first white guy on the Harlem Globetrotters was likely cut short only by his lack of size; although poor coordination and a general lack of agility, quickness and speed may also have been contributing factors. Some have also pointed to his poor court vision and lack of play-making skills as limiting his ability to achieve this dream.  Some years after sustaining this devastating disappointment in Jr. High, Dan felt called into ministry.

Favorite parts of ministry for Dan are teaching Jr. High confirmation classes, leading adult Newcomer classes, and talking with anyone who is seeking to grow in faith or who is simply curious about the claims of Christianity. In preaching, he periodically "becomes" a character from Scripture, using drama as a creative way to help make the text "come alive" for listeners.  In ministry, he is also drawn to any activity that allows him to join with others in putting Christian faith into action in service or witness.
