Dr. Johnny V. Miller served as president of Columbia International University from 1991 to 1999. His tenure as president was a time of growth for CIU, both in programs, and in buildings. It was during his administration that the school changed its name from Columbia Bible College to Columbia International University. During that time the CIU European campus in Korntal, Germany was also accredited by SACS and by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS).
Miller also oversaw the addition of CIU’s Muslim studies program, the Distance Learning Program, the Graduate School Education Program, and the Communication Program in the Undergraduate School. Buildings that were constructed on campus during Miller’s presidency include The Schuster Building, the Alumni Center, and improvements to student residences, including the installation of air conditioning.
Miller was also involved in the expansion of satellite locations for Ben Lippen School, and the expansion of CIU’s broadcasting division when radio station New Life 91.9 WRCM in Charlotte, N.C. went on the air.
Miller has also served as a missionary to Sweden and has been involved in church planting. He has ministered in several foreign countries, including Eastern Europe, India and Egypt.
Dr. Miller and his wife, Jeanne, have two married children: Joan and John.
With a pastor’s heart, Johnny Miller, former president of CIU, along with good friend, John Davidson, former interim president, have prepared this booklet “As We Age”, which addresses common, but often overlooked, life-choice decisions and shares practical, biblical stewardship principles.
