The Millers are also delighted to now be grandparents to Anders. The Lord has given him opportunity to preach all over the world in revivals, conferences, and youth meetings, but Pastor Miller’s passion is shepherding the people of Front Range Baptist Church and striving to reach Northern Colorado with the gospel. Pastor Miller is known for his passionate preaching, contagious soul winning, and thoughtful shepherding. We are excited to have him as the Pastor of Front Range Baptist Church!
