The Rev. Robert L. Miller served for ten years as the first bishop of the Pacifica Synod. This Scholarship Fund was created through congregational and individual gifts shared upon Bishop Miller’s retirement in 1998 and upon his death in 2016. Additional funds came from the distribution of the proceeds from the sales of Prince of Peace Lutheran, Ontario and Hope Lutheran, Riverside.
