First United Methodist Church of DeSoto
Rev. Dr. Daniel Reeves is our pastor as of July 1, 2026.
Rev. Reeves was born in Liberia, but later was a refugee to Ghana where he lived for nine years. He also studied in the Netherlands prior to immigrating to the United States.
He has served most recently at the Central Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church as the Program Director for Project Transformation. Prior to this, he was the Director of Youth Ministry and Their Families at the William C. Martin United Methodist Church. He has been an educator in several school districts throughout Texas.
Rev. Reeves was ordained by the United Methodist Church in 2025 and graduated from Perkins School of Theology in 2022. He and his family reside in Saginaw, Texas. He and his wife have an adult son serving in the military, and a 7-year old son.
We are excited and prayerful in having Rev. Reeves’ leadership as we embark upon this new chapter in the faith journey of our church family!
