Jeannie 
Patterson – Administrative Assistant
Jeannie joined our staff in April of 2010, coming to us with a variety of office experience. Her desire is to work together with those in the Hillcrest Church to be the hands of feet of Jesus to the community. When not at work Jeannie lives in Warm Beach, near Stanwood with her husband, Pat and middle school son, Kaleb. In her free time she loves to garden and read, that is, when she is not busy cheering on her son in his involvement with the Warm Beach Equestrian Vaulters.
Linda Busic- Children’s Director
Linda has been Children’s Director at Hillcrest for about 4 years, but has worked with kids for many more. She says, “There are so many awesome things about working with the kids, but one highlight is sharing Bible stories with them. As an adult I’ve heard these stories many times, but they are hearing it in its newness. They get so excited about God and one of my goals is to keep this excitement alive. My prayer for each child in our church is that they will come to know, love and serve God all their life and always be excited about Jesus Christ.”
