He wrote his dissertation in seventeenth century pastoral theology under William Price and Noel Gibbard, University of Wales, Lampeter.[13] Milton is an alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Master of Public Administration program of the School of Government (2016).[14] Milton studied public administration under William Rivenbark.[15][16] Milton is, also, a graduate of the United States Army Command and General Staff College[17] in Leavenworth, Kansas.[18] His postgraduate studies include a postdoctoral certification in higher education teaching at Harvard University Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning.[19][20]

Milton was founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church and of Westminster Academy of Overland Park, Kansas;[21] Interim President, Knox Theological Seminary;[22] founding pastor, Kirk O' the Isles, Savannah, Georgia;[23] Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee;[24][25] before his appointment as president of RTS-Charlotte.

Milton was elected to become chancellor and chief executive officer of Reformed Theological Seminary on September 2, 2010. Milton succeeded Robert "Ric" Cannada, Jr.[26] The investiture and inauguration service was held on September 14, 2012.[27]

Prior to becoming chancellor, Milton was President of RTS-Charlotte, elected in 2007, interim president of RTS Orlando, and the James M. Baird, Jr. Chair of Pastoral Theology since 2009. He retained the Chair of Pastoral Theology with his election as Chancellor.[28]

On March 13, 2013, it was announced that the Executive Committee of the Seminary granted retirement from the position in order to seek recovery from a chronic illness (Dysautonomia) that had become increasingly debilitating. The move was described as compassionate in order for Milton to fully recover and be able to return to ministry. Milton wrote a theological reflection on the illness called, "Difficult but Necessary: Relinquishing Leadership in Winter to Renew Ministry in a New Season."[29] Milton remained an adjunct member of the faculty.[30]

In addition to devotional and Biblical themes, Milton writes as a public theologian.[35] He has written numerous commentaries on Christian faith in the public square. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association invited Milton to write the theological affirmation for the Billy Graham final crusade, "My Hope".[36] Milton was invited by President Ronald Reagan's son, Michael Reagan, to speak at the Reagan Center in Santa Barbara, California. He spoke on September 26, 2013, at the Reagan Center, before the guests of the Young America's Foundation, on the topic of "What the Legacy of Ronald Reagan Can Teach Us Today about Religious Liberty."[37][38]

John Donne Society, The Royal Society of St George, and the John Milton (American) Society.[41] He was appointed as Senior Editor of the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps Journal.[42] Milton is a contributing writer for Salem Media Group.

Milton teaches or has taught on the mission of the Church in the world, homiletics, church planting, apologetics, world religions, and pastoral theology courses at the masters and doctoral levels at Reformed Theological Seminary,[43] Knox Theological Seminary,[44] Lancaster Bible College, and Erskine Theological Seminary.[45] Milton, also, teaches theological perspectives on economics, public policy, leadership, and public administration at Belhaven University.[46][47]

Michael A. Milton has advocated a "reorientation" to a "parochial theology" or a "parish ministry" in order to more faithfully fulfill the Biblical vision of the ordained ministry and the ordinary work of discipleship, especially in Reformed churches.[48][49] He codified a vocational training portion of this vision in his concept of "pastoral residency" following theological seminary training.[50] Milton wrote on accomplishing this arrangement under a proposed fellowship called the D. James Kennedy Institute of Reformed Leadership.[50] The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church voted in 2017 to partner with Milton to become the host and developer for the D. James Kennedy Institute and the pastoral residency fellowship.[51][52] In 2021 The D. James Kennedy Institute of Reformed Leadership launched a multi-grant-supported initiative: "Reimagining Pastoral Education and Training," featuring the program's core ministry, the "Pastoral Training Model."[53][54]

In his capacity as an educator, Milton designed a homiletics structural model that uses a scaffolding pedagogy of eight movements.[58] The model was published on the Faith for Living website and remains available as an open-source resource.[59]

Milton served as a faculty member of the U.S. Army Chaplain Center and School at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.[16] The Combined Arms Research Library lists Milton as Senior Editor of the Chaplain Corps Journal' in issues from 2013 to 2015.[64][65] In 2015, Milton was selected by the United States Army Reserve Command to the position of Command Chaplain of United States Army Military Intelligence Readiness Command.[66] Milton was awarded the Legion of Merit upon his retirement in February 2018.[67] Governor Roy Cooper of the State of North Carolina conferred the Order of the Long Leaf Pine citing Milton's contributions to public service in North Carolina.[68]
