Dottie Miller
I have been on pastoral staff here at Spring Arbor Free Methodist Church for 9 years. The first 6 years here I built and led the ministry to children. Now I lead the ministry in the areas of hospitality and assimilation. I love meeting new people, helping them to feel welcome, valued and comfortable among us as true worshipers of Jesus Christ. I also help folks find areas of growing, connecting and serving that fits their needs, gifts and talents. God has led me in public school teaching for 24 years, in being Denominational Director of Ministry to Children for 8 years, to pastoral ministry here at SAFMC. I also have been developing and overseeing the Conversational English Classes and teaching Chinese to children have been a delight for me in the last 2 years. My goal is to be a fruitful laborer for the Kingdom of God.
Family
I grew up on a 300 acre farm in Northern Michigan. My husband, Wayne, and I have 5 grown children, 4 of whom are adopted. Our 3 adopted sons are bi-racial. Our children have given us 11 grandchilden so far, and we are a big, happy clan! We have an annual holiday all our own on the last Saturday in June. It is the Miller Family Holiday, and we are all together to play, eat and enjoy each other.
Passions
I am passionate about staying in a close relationship with Christ and helping people find Jesus as their Savior. I love to build and organize new ministry and equip people to serve the Lord through it.
Secret Ambition
To go on the mule ride down into the Grand Canyon!

What's currently playing on my iPod
I’m still using my radio! I like some classical, and a wide variety of Christian music. I like Pastor Adam’s choices of music in 10:45 worship!
