Bishop Milton H. Hill serves as pastor of the Refuge Church of our Lord Jesus Christ in Talladega. He was filled with the holy ghost in May 1955, accepted the call to ministry in March 1963. He was appointed pastor by the late Apostle Perry Thomas in May 1963.

Bishop Hill's life exemplifies Titus 1:7-8 which describes a bishop as God's steward who must be blameless, patient, humble, even tempered, gentle, not grasping and greedy after filthy lucre, a devout man (paraphrased from the amplified bible).

Bishop Hill progressed through the ranks serving as deacon, Sunday School Superintendent, and assistant Pastor before becoming pastor of Refuge. He currently serves as Alabama Diocese Bishop and pastor of Refuge, Talladega and Refuge 2, Anniston.

"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her..." Proverbs 31:10-11.

First Lady Bonnie Ruth Hill is a virtuous woman, who holds up a standard for the Lord. She is small in stature but a giant in holding up a standard and teaching the word of God. She has labored continuously by her husband's side, supporting him in his work and vision of establishing Churches of our Lord Jesus Christ throughout the state of Alabama.

Mother Hill was filled with the Holy Ghost in 1955. She has progressed through the ranks from field missionary to her current positions as Diocesan Missionary President and Diocesan Mother. She has mentored and continues to mentor and teach her spiritual and biological children how that they should walk in the ways of the Lord and most of all she is an example of her teaching. We are blessed and thankful to have a first lady such as Mother Hill among us, for she is truly a blessing to us all.

Many thanks to Refuge's ministerial staff who have served faithfully with Bishop Hill over the years
