Miller Evangelical Christian Union Church is a proud member of the Churches of Christ in Christian Union, a denomination comprising nearly 200 churches across the United States and the West Indies.
The Churches of Christ in Christian Union was established in 1909, emerging from the Christian Union denomination founded in 1864. This separation took place because its founding leaders held firmly to the belief in holiness as a second definite work of grace, following salvation, the first work of grace.
Grace refers to God’s unearned love and favor toward humanity.
This belief highlights two distinct works of grace in the Christian life. The first is salvation, which occurs when a person chooses to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. At salvation, the believer becomes a new creation—spiritually born again. This inward transformation is publicly expressed through baptism, symbolizing renewal, new life, and a committed walk with God.
The second work of grace is holiness, also known as sanctification. Holiness begins after salvation and is both an immediate work of God and a lifelong journey. It shapes both who the believer is and how they live—setting them apart from sin and forming a life fully devoted to God.
Our mission is to worship God, build community, reach the broken, and be an example! Our vision is to be the bridge that unites people from all walks of life with Jesus Christ and one another. The foundational beliefs of our ministry, and the driving force behind our church’s mission and vision, are centered around five core values:
1. Biblical Truth
2. Prayer
3. Worship
4. Fellowship
5. Evangelism
