Welcome to the Hillcrest Church Podcast!
In today’s episode, we’re kicking things off with a casual conversation between our host, Paul Bauman, and Jenna Embree, who’s just stepped into a brand new role as our Director of Communication and Connection. Jenna walks us through her history with Hillcrest, from her early days as an intern to where she is now, steering the ship on all things communication—from handling our digital presence to making sure our physical space feels welcoming.
They're going to dive into the fun challenges of keeping everyone in the loop as our church community grows.
So, grab your coffee, settle in, and join us as we unpack what all these changes mean for us at Hillcrest Church and how we all can play a part in this journey.
