How We Worship:
Have you ever missed the classic hymns of your youth? The simplicity of a worship service that puts the message above the production value? We invite you to enjoy the time-honored elements of our semi-traditional service, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Our worship service incorporates modern audio/visual capabilities and inspirational music to deliver a message that is relevant and real. There is no dress code at Hillcrest. Come as you are. All are welcome at the table each Sunday, and all are welcome to partake.

Our Senior Pastor took a new call at the end of June 2026, becoming the Regional Minister of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Greater Kansas City.

Our search committee has been formed and an interim minister will be named soon. Then the committee will begin the work of calling a new permanent pastor. In the meantime, church life continues on!
Chaplain to Silvercrest at Deer Creek
I have been in the Greater KC area my whole life. I was born and raised in Merriam, KS and currently live in Lenexa, KS. I received my MDIV degree from Central Seminary and was ordained at Woodson Chapel Christian Church in St. Joseph, MO.
I started out in ministry as the Children’s Minister at Countryside Christian Church, In 2006 I was the Pastor of Discipleship at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, a non-traditional Episcopal church in Lawrence, KS. While at St. Margaret’s I had the opportunity to work with all ages, overseeing the youth and children ministries, working with marriage group and adult Bible studies. In 2008 I was called as the Senior Minister to Woodson Chapel Christian Church in St. Joseph and commuted 4 days a week. At Woodson we started a meal ministry to the homeless and worked with the Hispanic Ministries in the community and helped one of their churches rebuild after a fire. In 2015 I was called to be the Senior Minister at Blue Valley Christian Church. They had sold their building about a year before I arrived. We started meeting in an Independent and assisted living community (Silvercrest at Deer Creek) to be their church, offer worship, outreach opportunities, fellowship and activities. We volunteer and are there throughout the week. We are involved with both the residents and the staff. On Aug. 2, 2023 BVCC officially merged with Hillcrest and I’m excited that the ministry at Silvercrest will continue through Hillcrest. We have built a relationship with the residents and staff and it has turned into a wonderful partnership and we can see God at work in this ministry. I’m thankful to be Hillcrest’s Chaplain for the ministry at Silvercrest.
My husband, Dennis, and I will have been married for 36 years this December. We have one daughter and two grandchildren. Our grandson, Corbin, just started college Pitt State and is planning on majoring in business. Our granddaughter, Eleanor, is a sophomore at Shawnee Mission Northwest. We have been fortunate to have them live close by all their lives and we are able to be involved in their activities.
