HOLLI HILDERBRAND
Secretary
Holli was born and raised in Austin, Tx, and she still proudly calls "Keep Austin Weird" home. Austin has a creative, eclectic, diverse culture with year around sunshine and great food!
She currently serves on staff at Gateway Church, a highly missional multi-site church with 6 campuses. Gateway strives to raise the church out of the culture and to create a non-threating, culturally relevant, come-as-you-are environment that invites and helps people explore God and step into a transformative relationship with Him. Her role as the Connect Pastor leads all efforts of assimilation at all 6 campuses and ensures that effective connecting is happening into volunteer teams, discipleship groups, spiritual formation, service opportunities, and all guests and leaders at Gateway.
Since 2002, Global missions has become a big part of Holli's heart. She has traveled overseas with Pure Joy to Senegal, Africa; Quito, Ecuador; Naples, Italy; Sao Paulo, Brazil and whole heartedly believes in its mission. She has also been very active personally with ministries in Rwanda (Africa New Life) and Haiti (Mission of Hope) where she has had (and met) her sponsored child for the past 8 years. Her heart desires to live a life of missional living in Austin while ready and willing for the next adventure God sets before her, wherever He leads. In her spare time, Holli enjoys chips & salsa, time on her back porch reading, & hanging & laughing with life-giving friends.
