Pastors Jerry MCMillan

Pastoral Care Team Leader

Pastor Jerry McMillan.   Born in Douglas Ga.
 As a young man living in South Georgia, I knew God had a plan for me in the ministry.
I couldn’t see what the plan was clearly, but I knew I had to just listen and be patient. Later, I decided to leave my hometown and move to the metro Atlanta area for access to better opportunities for me and my family. I was soon invited by friends to visit several churches.        It was during that time I realized the love and heart I had for God was real. Every church I set my roots into slowly began paving the way towards the plan God had for me. I was asked to serve as a Deacon in those same churches, which eventually led me to become a Minister.
Deeper into my spiritual journey, I was led into searching for a school that would assist with my development into a Pastor. That’s when I discovered and started attending the Bible School at GSOM (Georgia School of Ministry). I completed all three levels while working fulltime as a firefighter for the City of Atlanta, where I retired after 28 years. Now, God has blessed me to be able to serve at Servant Leader Church Atlanta as Pastoral Care.
