Joseph Miller

I am grateful to serve as an Elder at GBC where my faith journey began as a child. I accepted Jesus at age 8 and was baptized at 10. Having grown up in the church, I now share this journey with my family, including my wife Heidi and our three children: Joseph II, James and Maddison. Over the years, I’ve served in various roles, including IT Director, Sunday school teacher, working in Awana, mowing the church lawn and serving on search committees. One of my guiding principles is Proverbs 3: 5-6. As an Elder I am committed to fostering spiritual growth and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can experience God’s love. Outside of church, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing sports with my kids and staying updated on Technology.
