 Diann McMillian has been in the music ministry for most of her life. She started piano lessons at age six. At age ten she committed her life to Jesus Christ and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. By that time, she was singing with her family at churches around Cincinnati. She played piano for the group, and taught them their singing parts. For many years she faithfully served as the Organist and Minister of Music for James Temple Church of God in Christ in Cincinnati, serving under the late Bishop William James.
Diann now serves as Minister of Music and Musician for Faith Christian Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, where her husband, Ray McMillian, is pastor. She is gifted as a singer/psalmist, musician and songwriter. She has recorded 8 recordings, and has traveled across the US, and in 15 foreign countries ministering music. She was the “Voice of Missions” for the National Church of God in Christ, and has sung at many of their National Convocations. Additionally, she has ministered at The World Pentecostal Conference; The Potter’s House - where Bishop T.D. Jakes is pastor; West Angeles Church of God in Christ, where Bishop Charles Blake is pastor; TBN, “100 Huntley Street,” and Chicago’s Black Expo. She has shared the stage with the Winans, Andrae Crouch, Danniebelle Hall, and Jessy Dixon. She is also presently the Music Minister for Race to Unity National Summit. Her latest project, introducing “His Choir” has just been released, and is titled “Never Disappointed.”
She has written hundreds of songs, but is most recognized for the song “God Is.” She sang this with a 4,000 voice choir with the Billy Graham Crusade in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2002. This song has reached places as far away and as diverse as Iceland, Sweden, Malaysia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Nigeria, The United Kingdom, Barbados, Trinidad, St. Vincent, and many other places. God used this song to bring healing to Diann’s physical body, after she had been diagnosed with an incurable heart disease. That was in 1994, and she remains healed today. Others have written to her to testify of the great things God has done in their lives, just from listening to the song.
Diann is a musician who prioritizes God's Word above music, and prioritizes her family above ministry. She demonstrates and teaches that great results come from obediently following God's prescribed order. She gives seminars and workshops to instruct and encourage others in the ministry of worship through music.
Diann is the mother of two daughters—Rachel and Robin.
