Interview with Dan Miller

On his promotional info for his church plant he put a picture of him and his hunting dog rather than him and his wife. This has become a conversation piece and starter for him.
When he first felt called to Truckville, he didn't want to go. It was a rundown backwater church with next to no money in the bank.
Within the first 100 days he was there he showed he had a vision, and he even changed the church name. He was known by the area as a man who didn't care about what people thought, he listened to God. He says that at present, his church can get somewhat wild. He says that there has to be a leader that is in constant communication with God making sure that the things going on are of the Holy Spirit and not fleshly.
He cares greatly about minister who have had moral failures. He has a prayer that God would kill him before He would allow him to bring disgrace to the kingdom of God.
He wants his staff to be more concerned with the details of people's lives. He really cares for his congregation in terms of hospitallity and the little things. He cares greatly about the details of his congegants and their families. He doesn't just remember your name, he tries to ask you about "how your daugther did in her basketball game, or how your grandma did in her perogie contest."
His church, rapidly growing, instead of building a larger sactuary, he built a recreation center. It is a 2-million dollar building that the church built and operates. It provides a need to the community for less cost than the other gyms in the area. It is not for the church people, it is for the community. 40% of the members are not part of any church.
"It's not about your own church, it's about the Kingdom of God."
"It's not about us (the church), it's about those who aren't us yet."
