I seek to live, love and lead like Jesus. I answered that call in 1978 and have devoted my life to this purpose. I'm fortunate to have trained for ministry at Nebraska Christian College (now part of Hope International University) and Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan University. I came to CCC in 2021 during a pandemic after preaching for 20 years in churches in Carroll, IA and Auburn, NE. I also lead Encounter Adventure, a ministry seeking to help raise up and equip people pursuing life's greatest adventure, life with Jesus. By God's grace my wife Julie and I have raised two kids. Ian the musician/poet and Mikaela the teacher/historian/preacher. To find the Millers outside of church, check the closest good coffee shop, golf course, hiking trail or live music venue. If you don't find us there, check the local hospital or jail because something is seriously wrong.

I love Jesus, family/framily, traveling, eating & the Chiefs. Having spent my career teaching, I am energized by investing in others and watching them bloom. To be closer to our family, Rex & I moved to the area after retiring from the faculty of the College of the Ozarks. We also gained an extended family in Christ Covenant Church. I was privileged to be a caregiver for my husband until his passing in 2021 and now find myself helping others navigate similar life changes. I need prayer in being a part of our leadership team at Christ Covenant.

One of my greatest joys was serving as the Minister of Youth and Family at Christ Covenant from 2010-2022. I love walking with children, teenagers, and families as they discover who God is and who he has created them to be. In 2022 my passion for students and education called me to teach at Hardin Jefferson Junior High. My husband Joe and I have been Married since 2000 and have two wonderful young men, Eli and Lucas. We have enjoyed living out God's call on our lives here in Beaumont since 2010 and I continue to coordinate much of our Student Ministries.

I have been a shepherd of Christ Covenant Church since its inception in 2005. I love working with the staff and doing my part in taking care of the people in our congregation. I take my responsibilities seriously and want to be a person that is known for encouraging people to remain faithful to our faithful God. I've been married to my wife, Peggy, since 1970. We have two daughters and six grandchildren. We've lived in Beaumont since 1976.
