Pastor, The Reverend Sherry Miller
Our pastor is the Reverend Sherry Miller who was extended a call in July of 2022 to serve St. John’s. She lives with her wife Kathy, three cats; Winston, Miss Thelma, and Little Man (who is the biggest of the bunch), and Luna the puppy dog. While Pastor Sherry has been ordained for thirty-one years, this is her first time serving a downtown city church. Pastor Sherry is a strong extrovert and can easily befriend anyone. If you stop by, she loves to chat!
“Every ordained minister shall speak publicly to the world in solidarity with the poor and oppressed, calling for justice and proclaiming God’s love for the world.
