Ken joined Inglewood as Interim Pastor in 2022, but he began his walk with Christ at the age of 10. Called into ministry at 16 years old, he attended Hannibal-La Grange College and received a Bachelor of Arts in Bible. The Lord took him to Scotland for two years through the IMB’s journeyman program, and those two years were foundational and formative in His journey. He then came to Texas to continue his studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he completed his Master of Divinity and then his Doctorate, concentrating on Old Testament wisdom literature (most notably the book of Job).

At Southwestern, Ken met and married his wife, Becky. Becky is a native Texan, but she spent much of her childhood in Brazil, where her parents were missionaries. Ken and Becky have one son, who is a great joy! Ken and Becky have served churches in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and here in Texas. Ken currently serves as Professor of Biblical Studies at Dallas Baptist University, having previously taught at Williams Baptist College in Arkansas.

Ken enjoys walking, cycling, traveling to new places, Sudoku, and reading. At any given time, he is reading 2-3 books at once (a habit that started in college!). Being from Missouri, he loves to watch the Cardinals and Blues. But his primary love is the church, and has enjoyed the opportunity to lead churches as Interim Pastor.

Ed has been serving Inglewood as Minister of Missions and Pastoral care since January 2010. Prior to coming to Inglewood, Ed and his wife Linda served for over 31 years in Zambia, Africa as missionaries with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Prior to missionary service, Ed served for 17 years on several Texas church staff positions as Minister of Music, Education, and Youth. Ed’s education includes Bachelors of Music Education (’66) from East Texas State University, Masters in Church Music (’71) and Masters in Religious Education (’71) from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He also did advanced study toward the Masters in Missions from Southwestern Seminary. The Miller’s have three adult children who live in the DFW Metroplex along with seven grandchildren.
