As the Pastor of Student Ministry and Young Adults, Sean Miller leads Ikon, Lakeside's College/20-Something ministry, oversees and mentors our Encounter (High School) and MSM (Middle School) Directors and develops emerging leaders through Lakeside's internship program. He is really excited to be doing what God has given him a deep passion for!
Sean was born in Boulder CO, but moved to San Jose when he was five. He became a follower of Christ in college.
He attended San Jose Christian (now William Jessup University), where he received a B.A. in Bible and Theology with minors in Youth Ministry and Missions. Currently, he is pursuing a Masters in Transformational Leadership through Bethel Seminary. He was also an All-American basketball player in the National Bible and National Christian College Athletic Associations.
He met his wife Holly during this time and was interested in pursuing a life as a missionary. However, he ended up in youth ministry at his home church in Los Gatos, where he first developed his enduring passion for working with college/young adults.
Sean has been married to Holly since 1994 and has 3 children. He loves spending time with friends and family - preferably with a great cup of coffee!
