Rev. Miller began pastoral duties November 7, 2004 here at Weston First Baptist Church.  His Christian ministry began at the Baptist Student Union while attending the University of Louisville.  After graduation in 1979 he attended the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louiseville, KY and served as Pastoral Assistant/Youth Minister at a Methodist church.  After graduating from seminary in 1982 he became the Assoicate Pastor in charge of Christian Education and Youth at the FBC of Kenova, WV and again in 1988 at the FBC of Marietta, OH.  God called him to the senior pastoral duties in 1993 at the First Baptist Church of Ravenswood, WV where God richly blessed his ministry for eleven years before being called to First Baptist Weston.

Ken and his lovely wife, Allison, were married in 1980.  Their daughter, Mallory was born in 1991 and son Nolan in 1993.  Mallory is currently a student at Mountain State University in Beckley, West virginia and plays on the University's volleyball team while their son Nolan is a student at Lewis County High School. When God called Ken and his family to leave Ravenswood it was the most diffcult desicion, especially where the children were concerned he has ever made. 

Ken has also lead our church through extensive renovations to modernize the church facility including the renovation of the outside brick exterior and the renovation of our dining hall and replacement of floor. The kitchen has been renovated and modernized to better serve the growing needs of our church.

Pastor Miller has been essential to getting these projects completed on time and under budget. He continues to follow God's will here at First Baptist Weston and we are glad to have him serving as our Minister.
