Christen Pettit Miller is a 1998 graduate of Bethany Theological Seminary. Her English major from Manchester College has come into good use in crafting sermons. Christen spent her first years out of seminary as associate pastor at Manchester Church of the Brethren. She then finished a residency in chaplaincy and joined the staff of Visiting Nurse and Hospice Home in 2005. She is both a board certified chaplain with the Association of Professional Chaplains and an ordained minister. She is passionate about seeking out those liminal spaces where the divine and sacred mingle in ordinary life, and finding the places where God meets us on our daily journey. She is married to Robert Pettit and together they have three children: Tess, Brynn, and Grayson. When she’s not finding the balance between pastoring, parenting, and partnering, you can find her reading, running, or cross-stitching.
