Interview: Dan Miller
Like all the interviews so far Pastor Dan brought a special and unique aspect of ministry to the table. His ideas and church planning were appropriate and geared toward his community and toward loving people in a Godly way. I really appreciated Dan and his openness for Christ and for loving and serving people.
Dan is the senior pastor at Back Mountain Harvest Assembly in Trucksville, Pennsylvania. He began youth ministry around the age of 16 and his passion for ministry has continued to grow since then. He really pushed that character comes before calling and gifts; I really agreed with him on this point, I believe that once you can get yourself together then God can better use you to serve and love others in a biblical way.
One thing I enjoyed about Dan was his friendly, warm, and loving attitude. He stressed that once people can trust you and know you care they will allow you to teach and love them. He was very easy going and energetic, not someone you would traditionally see as a senior pastor, as a good thing. I really enjoyed the passion and energy that you could see in everything he did. One of the really neat things about the church is that they own a recreation center and gym. They open it up to the community and do all sorts of Christ centered work outs and activities. Although it is Christian centered it is not “cheesy” like some Christian things, it’s a real professional gym. They also do a program called UPWARD Basketball that sounds really neat. This basketball program is something that the church uses to reach out to the community in a non-threatening church way. It is geared toward all ages and allows people to gather together and have fun while being in a Christian environment.
