Senior Pastor

Senior Pastor

Linn Valley Community Church is currently forming a Pastor Search Committee. While a search is ongoing, the pulpit will be filled with preachers who are aligned with our Biblical beliefs and standards. 

We are excited and hopeful about our future! We have a strong leadership team in place at LVCC and we continue in the Lord’s service to our community. It takes time to find a new pastor and we’ll keep you updated along the way.  We trust God’s timing on this. Please reach out to one of our Deacons with any concerns.

Millie and her husband Randy moved to Linn Valley in 2019 from Olathe, following their daughter Erin, who moved here in 2018. Millie and Randy became members of Linn Valley Community Church in December of 2019. She came to Christ when she was a teenager living in Dighton, KS (western KS) attending the Disciples of Christ Christian Church. Millie spent 25 years working in the banking industry retiring from Bank of America as a Regional Manager. She then spent 15 years working for the government as a Senior Technical Advisor in Personnel retiring from the Internal Revenue Service in 2024.  

Millie is the mother of two daughters, Erin and Jessica, and four grandchildren. Her daughter Jessica's death on January 1, 2011, at the age of 32, was one of the most difficult times in her life. Her trust in God was also put to the ultimate test, but God never abandoned her. She credits Celebrate Recovery, a faith-based 12-step program for people with hurts, habits, and hangups, with helping her navigate through her grief in the early years following Jessica's passing. Her favorite Bible Verse comes from 2 Corinthians 1, verses 3 and 4.

Rodney serves as the Youth Director at Linn Valley Community Church (LVCC). He grew up in a God-fearing Christian family and has attended church for most of his life. After graduating from high school in 2011, Rodney took a year off before feeling God’s call to Heartland Christian College, where he earned an Associate's degree in Biblical Studies in 2014. During his time at Heartland, he received the call to preach.

After graduation, Rodney wrestled with this calling until 2016, when he attended Harvest Baptist Bible College for a year, though he did not complete a degree. Following that season, he began working with a pastor who encouraged him to focus on youth ministry, marking the beginning of Rodney’s journey in youth work. Over several years, he gained valuable experience while serving alongside that pastor.

In 2021, Rodney married Amanda Coffman, and together they now have a wonderful little boy. The family joined LVCC in February 2022, and Rodney quickly found opportunities to serve, including on the sound team and as a Youth Leader. Today, he continues to serve faithfully as Youth Director and remains an active member of the sound team.
