Senior Pastor

Rev. Debbie Miller

I was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina on March 16, 1955. I grew up in a small town called Pacolet, SC, with 3 siblings. I graduated from Pacolet High School in 1973, went into the nursing program at USC- Spartanburg (now called USC-Upstate). I have been a Registered Nurse for 47 years.

I have been a United Methodist all my life and active in the church. In 2006 I felt a call into the ministry, pastored a small church in Blythewood, SC as a certified lay speaker. In 2007 I completed Licensure School as a Certified Local Pastor. In 2013 I completed the basic course of study at Emory University.

I have served Zion UMC in Blythewood, SC, Rehoboth UMC in Leesville, Shiloh UMC in Gilbert and now serving full-time at Platt Springs UMC.

I am married to a Retired United Methodist Minister (Noble Miller), we have 3 children and 9 grandchildren.

Come to visit us at Platt Springs UMC where all are welcome!
