Cyril Millett III

Secretariat/VP for Administration, Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada (SDACC)

Pastor Cyril Millett III was born and raised on the island of Bermuda. He accepted the Advent Message, was baptised, and was called to pastoral ministry while attending the University of Windsor (B.A. Hons. Psych. & Eng. ’79). After attending the Seminary at Andrews University (M.Div. ’85), he started pastoring and was ordained in the Quebec Conference.

Pastor Millett was called to the Ontario Conference in 1989, where he worked at various times as a youth pastor, high school chaplain, high school teacher, Men’s Ministries Director, Campus Ministries Director, Camp Ministries Director, and Youth Ministries Director. More recently, the Lord also had him pastor in the Bermuda Conference while directing the Youth Ministries Department and then the Sabbath School Department before stepping into the position of interim Superintendent of Education.

After serving in the Bermuda Conference for the last ten years, Pastor Millett was elected to serve as the Executive Secretary of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada (SDACC) in September of 2022.

Pastor Millett is a certified trainer and facilitator of the Stewards of Children seminar, which speaks to the issue of child sexual abuse prevention. He is also a chaplain with Clinical Pastoral training and is a certified pre-marriage counsellor. As a writer, he has contributed to three books and written articles in the areas of education and youth ministry.

He is married to the lovely Glenda Francis-Millett. Glenda has served as Assistant Dean of Girls at Kingsway College. She was a co-facilitator with her husband in pre-marital group counselling. She is noted for using her gifts to make the Millett home a warm and welcoming place for weary souls. Pastor and Sister Millett have one adult son, Justin, whose excuse for visiting so regularly is his mom’s cooking.

One of this pastor’s greatest joys is to see people fully committed to God, energized by the Spirit, encouraged by their church family, and serving to see others saved by Christ. To this end, Pastor Millett lives to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 71:18 – to declare God’s power to the next generation.
