Luke Miller is a Pastor at Table Rock and a firefighter currently serving with the Boise Fire Department.
I often joke that I’m somewhere on the “failure to launch” spectrum. I was born and raised in Boise and now live in and am raising my children in the same house where I grew up. My Mom and Dad were loving, involved, and caring parents who faithfully took me and my four brothers to Catholic Mass every Sunday morning, but we didn’t have a very vibrant spiritual life in our home. While they did a fantastic job of teaching me to value morals and love people, I didn’t understand the reason behind these actions until my early teenage years. I’m thankful that they gave me a foundation of love, which made understanding a loving God easy for me. My parents have remained married for over fifty years, and I remain close with them and my brothers.
It was at a summer camp in the Sawtooth Mountains that the Lord softened my heart to the gospel message. I was broken that Christ had died because of my sin, but amazed that He would love me enough to willingly take my punishment. God planted in me a desire to want to share my faith with others from the beginning of my walk with Jesus, and I was blessed to work at that summer camp myself a few years later. I’ve also had the privilege to be involved with other ministries over the years, including Young Life, Search, and Launch Pad. I was humbled and honored to serve as an elder at Faith Community Bible Church before feeling called to help launch Table Rock Church.
The Lord was gracious to provide me with a loving wife, who had my heart from the moment I saw her. At that same summer camp in the Sawtooth mountains, Katie walked through the doors of the lodge, and my life was forever changed. After we married in 2002, God has been kind to provide us with five children: Hadley (born in 2008), Taylor (2010), Hutch (2011), Ellie (2014), and Brooks (2018). Katie’s parents are also cherished friends of mine.
My prayer for Table Rock Church is that we would be a people who are passionately pursuing Jesus in all aspects of life, deeply desiring to know him more and to make him known.
