Mr. McMillan was a man of faith and after moving to Texas joined a Church of God of Prophecy on the east end of Houston under the direction of Rev. Lewis Howton and his wife Marie and later followed him to a small church on north side Oak Glen church of God of Prophecy as charter members. The Oak Glen church was started in the garage of the McMillans and later was pastored by Bishop Randy and Dionie Tolman. Later in life he moved to two different churches after the Oak Glen church was transitioned to a Spanish church.

Mr. McMillan loved people and liked to socialize with church members, neighbors, or anyone he ran into shopping and elsewhere. He dearly loved these people and had friends around the state and at the two churches he attended in the last seven years.
