Ron McMillan - Retirement, Writing, Preaching Styles, & Christian Education
Rev. Dr. Ron McMillan is a retired Cumberland Presbyterian minister. In this faith conversation, we talk about Ron's faith journey, calling into ministry, the challenges and joys of retirement, christian education, and his writing of a novel.
Rev. Dr. Ron McMillan states: "I was raised on a farm in west-central Missouri and graduated from Centerview Elementary School in 1960 and the former College High School of Warrensburg, Missouri, in 1965. After high school, I graduated with a B.S. in History from Bethel University in McKenzie, Tennessee. Also, I have a Masters of Arts from the Presbyterian School of Christian Education of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, a Masters in Divinity from Memphis Theological Seminary of Memphis, Tennessee, and a Doctor of Ministry from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
I married the former Nita Edwards of Lebanon, Missouri, in 1969 and have three children and ten grandchildren. I served pastorates in Arkansas and Tennessee, and my last pastorate was as Senior Pastor of the Holly Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church near Memphis.
I am presently the instructor of Church History for the Program of Alternate Studies of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and recently retired as an adjunct instructor of Bible for Belhaven University.
I retired from the full time ministry ten years ago after fifty years of service. I continue to fill pulpits and serve in my presbytery. My hobby is writing and I have published several short stories. My first two novels should be published this year and I am working on my third."
