Education and Ministry:

Dr. Miles is the founder and Pastor of Crusaders Christian Community Church.

For ten years prior to being called to be a pastor, Dr. Miles taught Bible classes at the church where they worshiped.  He was called by God to be a pastor in 1978.  Modeling his ministry after the Apostle Paul's message to the Ephesians, he believes that; "The Christian life is of little value unless we use it for sharing the Good News of Christ with others" (Acts 20:24).  Having gained a masterful understanding of God and His Word, Dr. Miles has developed a Christ-like character whereby he relates the biblical truths for everyday life through preaching and teaching of the Gospel to his congregates and those he comes in contact within the world.

Dr. Miles stays connected to the Inglewood Community.  He keeps up with the latest ministry trends, methods, and changes that are taking place in the Christian Church by attending seminars, workshops, and conferences.
