Brandon and Crissy Miller have been together for over 12 years and married since 2005. We live in the Atlanta area with our 3 dogs and 1 cat. In July 2010, we will welcome our first child and experience the beauty of parenthood for ourselves. We are Pastors of Young Adult Ministries at Piedmont Church in Marietta, Ga under the leadership of Ike Reighard. Prior to serving at Piedmont, we spent 16 years at Trinity Chapel where we served together in children's, youth, college & Career and young married ministries under the leadership of Jim and Jason Bolin. In 2007, we stepped out by faith to serve as Youth Pastors at a local church under the leadership of Steve Everett.
These opportunities confirmed the calling on our life to church ministry and have united us as a couple pursuing His will for our lives. Brandon and Crissy are hungry for Gods word, ready to grow deeper in relationship with Christ and available for whatever He has planned for us. Our heart is to see people walk in authentic - life changing relationship with our creator, a desire to love as Christ loved and to live the Great Commission while on this earth.

Brandon and Crissy enjoy time with family and friends, the lake and the beach, a clean house and a good rainy day nap. Brandon enjoys working out, golf, landscaping, wake boarding and eating. Crissy enjoys a quite moment to watch a lifetime movie, spring planting, skiing, tubing and yes...even cleaning. Okay, maybe not cleaning, but she loves a clean house! Brandon works for BB&T Corporate BankCard Services and Crissy is the Director of Operations at a commercial design firm. Together, we love life, love people and love God!
Brandon is a gifted teacher and creative communicator. He believes truth should be conveyed in a simple manner that challenges people to grow. Brandon and Crissy have a passion to pursue ministry together and have a heart to see people’s lives and marriages transformed by applying the truths of God’s word. They are excited that God has allowed them the opportunity to serve the College, Young Adults and Young Married couples at Piedmont.
Jeremiah 20:9 (New Living Translation)
But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord, or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire.
It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can not and will not do it!
Favorite New Testament Bible Verse:
Romans 12:2 (Amplified Version)
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Secret Ambitions:
If I told you, they wouldn’t be secret…but my hearts desires are to: get my masters, write a book, play professional golf, skydive, adopt an under-privileged child, and to pastor a church.
What would you do with a day off?
Would love to sleep in, but 7 is late for me. So I would spend the day with my family visiting places we had not seen and other places or things that are our favorite. If time permitted, we would get away to the beach, the lake or the mountains.
