The Rev. Sean Henderson McMillan is the Senior Pastor of Giant Steps Church, an Interdenominational Christian Community located on the southside of Chicago. Rev. McMillan is a native of New York City and is currently the Executive Director of the Center for African American Theological Studies, and he is also a member of the teaching faculty in the Doctor of Ministry Program at McCormick Theological Seminary.
Sean McMillan is a dedicated and innovative leader; so much so that Pastor Sean was featured in the 2005 summer issue of the African American Pulpit as one of the nation’s most promising preachers in the magazine’s “Twenty to Watch” salute to gifted young African American preachers. The preaching ministry of Pastor Sean centers around the psychological, spiritual, and social implications of love. For him, love is more than just an emotional exchange between two people; it is, in fact, the occasion for everything we believe as Christians. Love is the necessary condition for the possibility of grace and the aim of Christianity as such. Pastor McMillan’s message is not simply that we should love one another, but is rather, a call to hope, social transformation, and existential freedom through the often strange and mysterious transactions of love. In short, love is not about how we feel; it is about how we live. It is the means by which we come to live for something greater than ourselves and the very substance of a committed life.
