After 28 years of service, the Christian Opportunity Center (COC) Maintenance Coordinator Charlie McMillian is retiring. 

McMillian’s journey with COC began in 1989, when he started working part-time for Mahaska Vocational Service, a subsidiary of COC. Although he initially resigned in January 1994, he returned to the organization in March 1995, taking on various roles, including driving a bus route from Knoxville to Pella. Over the years, his involvement in maintenance grew, eventually leading him to a full-time position in 2009. When his supervisor retired, Charlie assumed the role of Maintenance Coordinator. 

Charlie plans to stay active in ministry, aiming to be an example that leads others toward spiritual direction.
