Dr. Brad Miller, founder of ChurchTech, has over 20 years of experience working to enhance ministry with the aid of technology. Starting in 1990 he began to organize and conduct ecumenical conferences and seminars on ministry and technology. He has also been a presenter on those same topics at seminars organized by others (like Christian Computing Magazine). Dr. Miller has been a featured presenter at conferences or seminars throughout the U.S. and abroad. He was the developer of the Church Database Design Kit, a set of Approach templates with an accompanying video.
Under the mentorship of Dr. Kent Hunter, he has been trained as an Associate Church Doctor. Through that ministry he has been privileged to consult congregations in Ohio, Illinois, Colorado, and California.
Dr. Miller received his B.S. In Public Affairs from Indiana University in 1987. He received his M. Div. From Wartburg Theological Seminary in 1992 and was ordained as a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that same year. He earned his D.Min. from Agape Seminary in 2006. He has served congregations in a variety of different contexts: urban & rural, large & small.
In early 2007 he completed the initial development phase for Abounding Joy, a new church plant on the east side of the Des Moines metro area. He is a trained and certified Intentional Interim and frequently serves as an Interim Pastor for congregations in transition. He is currently rostered as a Pastor in the LCMC.
His wife, Pam Schroeder, is also a pastor, currently serving as a Hospice Chaplain. They have two teenage children.
