Dawson Miller Email Me!
Dawson was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, where he met Dayna at the Christian high school they both attended. It was there that he first began to sense the Lord's call to ministry, but he listened to the counsel of a youth director and spent 17 years after graduation from Wheaton College in 1985 'doing something else.' This is evident in the varied experiences in his resume. However, in the fall of 1999 Dayna and Dawson truly began to sense God's leading to seek that original call, so they began to prepare to move to St. Louis in order to begin studies at Covenant Seminary. Beginning in the summer of 2002 they arrived and in May of 2006 he graduated and was ordained the following October. Dayna and Dawson have been married 24 years and have had 13 addresses in 4 different states. Currently they have two sons in college, one a freshman and the other a senior, and a daughter who will enter high school next year.
