Dr. David Milam
Dave is our Pastor. He has a B.A. degree from San
Diego State University (where he met his wife, Bonnie) and an M.A. from
Wheaton College Graduate School in Christian Theology. His Master of
Divinity degree (1985) is from Princeton Theological Seminary with a
concentration in Preaching. He also has a Doctor of Ministry degree
(1999) from San Francisco Theological Seminary. Dave and Bonnie
live in Purcellville. Their son Andrew and his wife Carissa
live in Austin, Texas. Their son Scott and daughter Karen both
attend the University of Michigan.
A few words from our Pastor:
"I am wonderfully grateful about being here at St. Andrew and in Purcellville. In former ministries I
have been active in our community, even having a radio call-in talk show where I became known as a "Rappin Rev".
I came here from Macomb, Michigan where I had the privilege of organizing a new Presbyterian
congregation and to be its first pastor.
(My wife) Bonnie is teaching 7th grade
language arts at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn.
I like reading, hiking, swimming, softball, basketball, cycling and golf. We love our
children to bits and are somewhat rabid University of Michigan sports
fans because of their studies there. I enjoy playing the guitar, but
really enjoy listening to those who play it well. I hail from San Diego,
California where I used to surf and find that I am strongly aware of
God's presence in nature, even as I see the revelation of God happening
where Jesus lives among us, as happens in congregations.
I have found
myself to be an immediate fan of the Nationals, Redskins and Wizards,
although I still like the Dee-troit Pistons and Red Wings, as well as my
hometown Padres and Chargers. It is invigorating to live in a place with
vibrant echoes of American history. I am soaking it in."
