    I stopped by to visit Pastor Miller. I had a great visit with him. We both grew up in southern Lancaster, SC and attended the same high school. He is a very humble man of God. We pray the Zion Canaan would continue to grow and flourish as the Gospel of Jesus Christ goes forth from the teaching and from the lives of the members.

    Not a kid friendly congregation. My small children were sent outside, because my baby was fussy. Very disappointing.
