Cory J. Miller is currently director of communications for a large Southern Baptist church in Oklahoma City. (Although all comments, thoughts, ideas, links, etc. on this site are my personal opinion or the particular author's and not my place of employment.)

Prior to coming to the church, Miller served as director of communications for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary from 2004-2006 and also director of communications for First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow, Okla., a 5,000-member Southern Baptist church located outside of Tulsa.

A native of Ardmore, Okla., Miller has worked in journalism and public relations for more than seven years, serving at three Oklahoma daily newspapers and a collegiate sports magazine group during that time. Throughout his career, he has served as a copy editor, art director, sports editor, education editor and layout specialist as well as an advertising salesman for his college paper.

An expert user of software programs QuarkXPress and Adobe Photoshop on both the PC and Macintosh platforms, Miller’s skills include layout and design, writing, copy editing, photography, and Web site design and maintenance.

His work regularly appears in Baptist Press, Missouri Pathway, and Oklahoma’s Baptist Messenger, among other Baptist papers. Additionally, he has written for On Mission magazine and Purpose Driven Ministries.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership from Southern Nazarene University. Previously, he attended the University of Central Oklahoma, majoring in journalism. He is currently pursuing a Masters of Divinity degree at a Southern Baptist seminary.

In November 2004, Miller designed, edited and produced a 42-page booklet titled “Answering the Call: Examining God’s Call to Vocational Ministry,” which is designed to help Christians understand and discern God’s call to ministry as well as provide contacts of prospective students for Midwestern Seminary. The free booklet, now in its third reprinting, has been a successful recruiting tool for the seminary and has been distributed to more than 4,000 people.

Miller and his wife, Jennifer, who is an accomplished pianist, have been married since March 2003 and live in Oklahoma City.
