Hi there! I’m Janice. I come from a wonderful Christian family, and was baptized at age nine. I’m a Registered Nurse, and married with two adult boys. Family is my passion and first on God’s priorities for me!! I came to Hillcrest in 1999 after spending time away from my Lord. I’ve been so blessed by Him, giving me the chance to return and mature in my faith. Amen!! I have served with Benevolent and have been on the Deacons Team for almost three years, with two of those as Secretary. I’m increasing the roles to include Chair. I pray, and ask for your prayers, as I continue to serve God and the exceptional friends at Hillcrest and our Community. May we all be blessed as we grow and reach out to all those in need. Every person belongs to Jesus. May we never forget!!

Hi, I’m Barb! I’m here only by the grace of God, who has faithfully led me through the ups and downs of life. I’ve been part of Hillcrest since 2021, and serving in church leadership has been both a joy and a meaningful challenge. Drawing on both my professional and ministry experience, I’ve developed a passion for working with people and creating policies that help others thrive in their roles. My hope is to be a resource and support for you along the way! I am a very compassionate soul, and that has bubbled over into my love for God's little creatures. If you love dogs or cats, I do too! Please don’t hesitate to come say hello—or feel free to reach out by email. I’d love to connect!

Hello! I’m Brad, and I’ve been a part of the Hillcrest family since 2023. My passion lies in the creation and growth of life groups within our church, as I believe that discipleship is about encouraging and challenging one another to become more like Jesus. I’ve been involved in various ministries here at Hillcrest, including my most recent role on the CE. ​ In addition to serving at Hillcrest, I love family time (I have 3 growing boys!), being in the outdoors, jujitsu, eating good food, and good conversations over coffee!  So when you're ready to take the next step in your faith journey and connect with some amazing people on the way, feel free to send me an email—I’d love to connect with you!

Hello! I am Josephine, and I am here to welcome you to Hillcrest Church, and get you connected to your new family! I have been part of the Hillcrest family since 2023. I am a child protection and rights advocate with a heart for community engagement. I am a proud mother of two, and I have a deep love for music.

Hey! I'm Nancy and I’ve been part of the Hillcrest family since 1990. I have had the joy of serving in many different ways over the years. From singing on the worship team and in the Hillcrest choir to serving on committees like Deacons, Christian Education, and the Pastoral Search Team, I’ve loved using my gifts to help build up our community. I’ve also led women’s Bible studies and continue to be part of the Wednesday Women’s Bible Study, where I enjoy growing deeper in God’s Word alongside others. Hillcrest has been such a meaningful place for me, and I’m grateful to keep serving and growing here. I am a retired educator who also enjoys every moment I have with my family, (married 51 years, 2 children and 4 grandchildren)! I love being active whether that is with the curling club, skiing, golfing, or lifting my voice with the Saint John Choral! As one of the praise deacons, I am passionate about tuning our hearts to God through song and aligning our service toward worship! You normally can find me playing piano on Sunday morning! Come say hi!

Greetings! My name is Stephen Ring. I am married to Pamela and although we do not have children of our own, I have always been dedicated to supporting children's and youth ministries here at Hillcrest! Having grown up in this church, I have known all of its senior pastors over the years, I am now 71 years young. I have served multiple terms as a Deacon and am currently active in preaching when needed, as well as teaching an Adult Sunday School class. I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology online at Acadia Divinity College, which I hope to complete by late 2026 or April 2027. As a seasoned deacon, I am here to mentor, encourage, and offer advice when needed. Once I finish my degree, I look forward to taking on additional responsibilities.
