Their children are Jonathan, David, Holly and Amber, and their grandchildren are Violet, Jace, and Adriana. Ruth has a passion for reaching children for Jesus. She has been involved with children’s and youth ministries for many years, and helps lead the Mpact Girls…

We were delighted to have Donna join our ministry team in September 2021. She has been doing Children’s Ministry for many years.  She has a passion for working with children.  Previously Donna worked with the Bus Ministry and Children’s Ministry at Crivitz Assembly for many years. 

 Brian Wilson has been with Hillside since 2014, and has had an active role working in children’s ministry at the Gillett Campus. He attended Central Bible College for two years and furthered his studies at the District School of Ministry.  Brian’s favorite verse is Romans 1:16. He enjoys teaching children to be bold in their faith and not be ashamed to stand up for what they believe.  Brian is really involved with his family and will at times practice lessons…
