Pastor
The Rock Church San Diego
Miles McPherson was born in Brooklyn and raised in Long Island. After excelling in football throughout high school, he attended the University of New Haven where he majored in engineering. McPherson was the university’s first player to achieve All-American honors in football and be drafted into the NFL.
Miles played four years in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers and retired shortly after giving up a years-long drug addiction in one day. He went back to school in 1991 for his Master’s degree and worked as a Youth Pastor in San Diego. In 2000, he started the Rock Church in San Diego. Today, the Rock Church has 7 campuses, and gives over 4 million hours of volunteer service each year.
Miles’ latest book “The Third Option” speaks out about the pervasive racial divisions in today’s culture. It argues that we must learn to see people not by the color of their skin but as humans with equally valuable humanity. Miles created The Third Option Similarity Training, designed to help individuals and organizations focus their attention on similarities rather than differences. It endeavors to help people develop honoring relationships with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.
