deacon lisa r miller
digital ministry coordinator
Deacon Lisa moved to Florida in May 2019 from Wisconsin. She has been an ordained ELCA Deacon since March of 2014. Lisa previously served at Bethel Lutheran Church, Madison, WI for 5-1/2 years and Peace Lutheran Church, Fort Myers for 1 year. She has been a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Monroe, WI since 1968.
Deacons are called to serve on the Word and Service roster in the ELCA; and provide care and nurture of the whole people of God, equipping them in the Christian faith through Word and Service. My areas of emphases are Administration, Christian Education and Worship. I am excited to unite my years of experience with my spiritual gifts to carry out my call to serve God at St Peter.
Often you will find Lisa at one of Southwest Florida's many beaches. She is an avid reader and loves caring for her grandson, William, every day. Many hours are spent doing 1000 piece puzzles; favorites being scenery (often beaches), books, and cats.
"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8)

Bookkeeper
My family and I relocated to Fort Myers, FL from Mayville, WI in July 2016 desperate for sunshine and great weather all year round! We enjoy bicycling, walking, shelling, basically anything outdoors, as well as listening to live music. My other passion is working with numbers. I have 2 wonderful teenagers, a crazy dachshund and a great husband of 15 years.
