Program

Speaker – Rich Miller

Rich Miller lives in Sherwood, Oregon with his wife Nadine. They have been married for 33 years and have three adult children. Bethany (& Dan) Headley live in Fort Mill, South Carolina with their two children (Elliotte & Olin). Kenton (& Bekah) live down the street from them in Sherwood. And their youngest, Gerik, lives with them.

While his children and grandchildren are his greatest passion (and accomplishment), Rich and Nadine have enjoyed having Labrador and Golden retrievers as family pets through the years. Currently they have a 20-month-old goldie named Harley (Nadine got Harley the dog in 2017, the same year that Rich got a Harley motorcycle). While Rich enjoys riding his Harley, both Nadine and he also enjoy walking Harley. They also enjoy camping, hiking and skiing.

Rich is the pastor at Sherwood Community Friends Church and has been there since 2012. He has pastored at three other NWYM Friends churches in his career (South Salem Friends, Olympic View Friends, and Four Summits Community Church) and has always had a passion and concern for encouraging and helping parents parent.
