Carrie Jo Miller, Commissioned Lay Pastor lived in Illinois and Oklahoma  before moving with her family to Cambridge City, Indiana where she graduated from high school, married and had five children. In 1967 she and her husband became farmers in Rush County. She received a BA in English, a BS in Education, and an MS in English Education at IUPUI. She taught high school English and has served as adjunct faculty at Ivy Tech and IUPUI as well as a consultant for the Indiana Department of Education. To satisfy a deep hunger to know and understand more about the Christian faith, she began studies at Christian Theological Seminary and will graduate with a Masters in Theological Studies. She graduated in 2002 from the two-year Presbyterian Lay Pastor Training Program. In 1998 she fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming a missionary by going with the First Pres group to Mexico and later that year with the Whitewater Valley Presbytery’s mission team to the Democratic Republic of Congo. She has made three more mission trips to Mexico and four to Honduras with First Pres. Carrie Jo also enjoys time with her five children and their families which include eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She is pleased to be part of this loving, welcoming congregation that shares her passion for mission—both here in the church, in the community and out to all God's children.
