Ministers and Staff
Douglas Miller, Interim Minister
Trained as an interim pastor through the United Church of Christ, which prepares ministers in the specific skills of managing transitions within a church, Doug Miller came to Round Hill as Interim Minister in the summer of 2010 after serving as Interim Minister at South Britain Congregational Church in Southbury, Connecticut. Previously, he served as Senior Minister at United Congregational Church in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and has also served as Associate Minister in Wilton, Weston, and Westport Congregational churches. During most of this time, he was also practicing law in Westport, Connecticut. He holds a B.A. in philosophy from Michigan State University, M.Div. from Yale University Divinity School, and J.D. from University of Connecticut Law School. He describes his call to ministry as an evolving process. “The task of a minister is to meet people where they are and put them in touch with God. That is perhaps the best description I know of the work of a parish minister.”
Christopher Kabala, Minister of Music
Christopher Kabala collaborates with the minister choosing music for each worship service that lifts up and deepens the message of the prayers, scriptures, and sermons. He conducts and rehearses the adult choir, gives a piano recital on a Friday evening every other year, and arranges for special music during our services and for additional concerts throughout the year. He has been at RHCC for sixteen years.
Christopher has appeared as conductor, chamber musician, and soloist with groups such as the Janus Players, the Berkshire Music Center Orchestra, Tanglewood, the North-South Consonance at Interlachen, and the Cincinnati, Detroit, and Mexico City symphonies. In New York, he has played at Columbia University, New York University, Carnegie Recital Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Internationally, he has performed as a recitalist in Germany, Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. He was a guest lecturer at the University of Michigan.
