Alaska Conference is happy to share that Rodney Mills has answered the call to serve as its next president.
This decision follows a comprehensive and prayerful process guided by the Holy Spirit. The selection of the new president was a collaborative effort between the conference’s executive committee and nominating committee. With prayerful discernment, thoughtful deliberation, and valuable feedback from members shaping the candidate profile, the process reflected a shared commitment to God’s leading.
Mills most recently served Upper Columbia Conference of Seventh-day Adventists as vice president of administration. He has a vast amount of pastoral experience at multi-staff and multi-church districts in Wisconsin and Texas. He also spent a few years as Texas Conference ministerial director before being called to the UCC.
He has a strong interest in developing missionaries of all ages. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Andrews University. His doctoral work focused on natural church development with the Adventist Church in the United States.
“I look forward to ministering together across Alaska and seeing what God is going to do as we join hands to share the love of Jesus from Barrow to Ketchikan from Tok to Gambell and all points in between,” Mills said.
Mills and his wife Pamela will transition to Alaska Conference over the next few months. They are looking forward to settling down in Anchorage and getting to know all the pastors, staff and teachers throughout the conference very soon. Elder Mills will be making every effort to visiting all the churches and schools during 2025.
John Freedman, NPUC president who oversaw the search process, shared the following words of invitation: “Please pray for God’s sweet anointing of the Holy Spirit on Pastor Rodney and Pamela as they transition to Anchorage and begin their ministry of uplifting Jesus Christ before the Alaska constituency and focus on bringing the Good News of the Three Angels’ Message of Jesus Christ and His soon return to the Alaskan people.”
