Dr. Dan Curry
Pastor
E-Mail: office@southoaks.org
Dr. Dan Curry has been our pastor since 1992. He has a true shepherd's heart; his desire to lead all people in this community into a loving and committed relationship with Jesus Christ is unmistakable. Dr. Dan grew up as a son of a pastor and lived in west Texas before attending Wayland Baptist University. Before God led him to
South Oaks, he completed both of his graduate degrees at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastored several churches. He and Alicia have been married for 30 years and have three children along with a brand new addition, their very first grandchild - Emma Katherine! (Robin & Jill's daughter.) So now Dr. Dan & Alicia are keeping the roads hot between here and Tulsa as they do their part in learning the ropes of the grandparent jobs, and are loving it! Their children are: Robin and his wife Jill, Craig and his wife Fallon, and Crystal and her husband Tommy. Dr. Dan's desire for South Oaks is to be able to reach out to our community and to meet the needs of our members.

You will find as you get to know Dr. Dan better that he is, as much as anything else, a people person. He enjoys being around where the people are, telling stories, listening to your stories, and enjoying the fellowship and friendship that have been developed from the 15+ year foundation that has been laid in his fruitful ministry here. His door is always open. He loves to talk & he's a great listener! He'll never be too busy to take time out to hear you! He's ready! Click above and email him or give him a call!
