General Superintendent David W. Graves announced the appointment of Kenneth Mills as interim superintendent of the Pittsburgh District.

Mills most recently served as superintendent of the Mid-Atlantic District, a position he retired from this spring after nearly 19 years. He follows J. Bret Metcalfe, who was elected superintendent July 24, 2010, at the 103rd Pittsburgh District Assembly. Metcalfe resigned in November to accept a pastoral assignment.

After graduating from Eastern Nazarene College, Mills pastored churches in Ohio, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. In addition to his degree from ENC, Mills also holds a Master of Divinity from Nazarene Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Boston University.

Mills began his new assignment December 9 and will serve until a new district superintendent is appointed.
