Rev. Dan Griffiths is the pastor of the Combs and
Lothair United Methodist Churches. Dan came to
the Red Bird Missionary Conference in 1998 after
serving churches in former Louisville Annual Con-
ference (now merged with the Kentucky Annual
Conference). Dan graduated with a Human
Service
s degree in the first 4yr. class from
Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, KY. He
holds a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury
Theological Seminary in Wilmore, KY.
Dan is involved in many parts of the Red Bird Missionary Conference including the Superintendency Committee. He serves on the Board of the Daniel Boone Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Red Bird Missionary Conference churches are all small membership. However, pastors minister to many more than their members, they become the pastor to the entire community. Many of the area children call him “Dan, Dan the Preacher Man.”
Prior to entering the ministry in 1985 Dan was a firefighter for the federal government. Two brothers, 4 & 5, began calling him “Dan, Dan the Fireman”. When they heard he was going to become a pastor, they christened him “Dan, Dan the Preacher Man”.
Dan also attends many ball games in the local public elementary, middle school and high school systems to demonstrate his support of the children and youth.
Dan sees his ministry in Appalachia as “equipping the saints for the works of ministry.”
