Profile
Dr. Milne has always had a deep passion for Christian ministry and Christian education. As a product of Christian higher education, he believes it is his responsibility to invest in students just as his own professors invested in him throughout his academic journey. Teaching at Roberts Wesleyan has been both a joy and a blessing, and he values the time spent with students as they explore Scripture and the call to service together.
In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he pastors full-time and is an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. He serves on his denominational district’s Board of Ministry and is a ministerial delegate on the Board of Trustees at Eastern Nazarene College. Outside of his professional life, he is married, enjoys the company of his cats, and has a passion for collecting and building Legos. A dedicated sports enthusiast, he follows baseball, football, and hockey closely and collects sports cards and memorabilia.
