Our Pastor and His Family
Daniel Escalante was born in Chicago, IL and raised in Houston, Texas. He felt the call to ministry shortly before graduating High School, and upon deciding to pursue the call, he received a Bachelor’s degree in Theology from Southern Adventist University. Upon graduating he accepted a call to pastor with the Georgia Cumberland Conference in 2014. He was the Associate Pastor to a three church district in Atlanta, Georgia. Following that placement, he was then sent to complete the Master’s of Divinity in Berrien Springs, Michigan at Andrews University. He graduated in 2019 and returned to the Georgia Cumberland Conference to begin his first placement as a Senior Pastor in Savannah, Georgia. He has enjoyed more than a decade of pastoral ministry so far, and is eager to see where the Lord will lead next in the life at the Fort Collins Seventh-day Adventist Church.
He is happily married to his wife Alice, with whom they share a beautiful daughter named Lucia. Alice and Daniel met in their first year of studies at Southern Adventist University back in 2010 and would later be married in 2014. Marriage is a blessing from God and is meant to be cherished as such. They have shared many adventures, and look forward to what the Lord has in store for their family.
Daniel is passionate about ministry, helping others and seeing people come to a deeper relationship with Jesus. He prays the church will continue to be the hands and feet of God in a world that desperately needs the blessed hope to cling to every day.
