My name is John E. Miller, III. My wife, Jan, and I have been married since March 1991. We have two beautiful daughters, Alyssa and Samantha.

I have worked in the construction trade for over 20 years. Currently I work in a wood shop where I make and install counter tops and occasionally build cabinet for a locally owned building supply company.

My mother taught all of us Miller kids, of which there are five, about Jesus from a young age. When I was a teenager I decided that I didn’t want anything to do with church or God. I felt that if I didn’t know anything that I wouldn’t be held accountable. But God had other plans. I joined the Army in 1986. When I was stationed in Camp Casey, Korea, God decided to get my attention. I was in a tent that caught fire from someone who fell asleep while smoking. As a result, I sustained third degree burns on both of my hands and had smoke inhalation injuries. My eyes were also severely scratched and had to be sutured closed for about a week. As I said, God decided to get my attention and He did ever. I decided at that time to become a Christian. I was baptized in February 1990 after I was discharged from the Army.

After leaving the Army I resumed my contracting business that I had before going into the military. I went back to school for electronics engineering but after about a year and one half I decided to stick with carpentry. In 1994 our first daughter, Alyssa was born. Then in 1998 our second daughter, Samantha, was born. The year before Samantha came along I had an opportunity to take a position with my current employer. They offered good benefits which is what we needed so that Jan could stay home to raise our girls.

With my father’s recent health problems, he asked me to help out with his church and I agreed to do so. I took the online ordination course that he offers and was ordained in October 2007. I look forward to serving the church and whatever challenges may come in the future with The Church of Living Water.
