OUR DEACON TEAM

The role of the deacon is one of high service to the body.

The church needs deacons and deaconesses to provide logistical support so that the elders can focus on the Word of God, prayer, and spiritual care of the body.

Connor has been a member of Oak Hill Bible Church since 2017. He graduated from The Master's University with a degree in Christian Education in 2012, and has enjoyed leading the Usher & Greeter ministry and serving in children's ministry for many years. What Connor lacks in beauty is made up for by his beautiful and sweet wife Kailey, who also serves in children's ministry, and his precious daughter Elsie, who are his greatest joys. He enjoys all things sports, good reads, trips to the beach or the park, board games, and spending time with others.

As the wife of our teaching pastor, Tanya knows this church inside and out! Aside from being great at answering questions and welcoming people into our family, Tanya is also a faithful friend to all the ladies in our church. When she's not hosting church events at her house or spending time with women in our church, you can find her reading and marking up her Bible or planning surprise getaway trips for her and Jeff!

Meredith loves kids and loves overseeing Acorns, Oak Hill’s children’s ministry. She has taught in public school, private school, and as a homeschool mom, and now pours herself into helping our precious “Acorns” grow in their love for God and his word. You can often find her scouring Pinterest, thrift stores, and Dollar Tree (or anywhere else she happens to be) to find creative resources that help bring God’s word to life. She enjoys taking long walks with her husband, Dave, spending time with family and friends, and baking treats to share with everyone who comes to the Sunday community group that she and Dave host. Meredith and Dave have been married for over 30 years and have four grown children and 2 grandchildren.
