Hello! I am Dan Arivd Miglets-Nelson, and I have a heart for ministry and following Jesus Christ.

I graduated from Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in May of 2016, focusing my Masters of Divinity on Congregation Mission Leadership, specifically in congregation development and redevelopment. While in seminary,  I was interviewed, vetted, and chosen to receive the Fund For Leaders Scholarship to tailor my education to learn how to plant, revitalize, and pastor churches, from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

Serving in churches across the country, I learned from a variety of leaders and members on what works and some best practices in being present in a congregation, and proclaiming what God is doing in their presence. From Fort Worth,  Texas, Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Las Vegas, Nevada, and Chicago, Illinois, I have a depth of ministry experience and a heart for hearing peoples stories and testifying to the love of God across their narrative. Presently, I am working in Woodbury, MN as a Children & Youth Minster. I am currently in discernment about what the next chapter of my life will entail.

In 2018, I married Dr. Julia L. Miglets, and settled in to a lovely duplex in Prospect Park, Minneapolis.

When I am not busy with work, I can be found at the dog park, climbing tall cliff faces, or watching baseball, hockey, or football. I enjoy reading theology and outlaw poetry. I am also an avid collector of traditional Americana tattoos, and a lover of early American History.
