Bill and Jennifer Hildebrand

Our youth pastor, his wife, and sons

Bill counts himself to be blessed to serve over ten years in a church that is truly incredible! Working with families who are striving to put Jesus first in their marriages and teaching their children to walk with the Lord puts a real joy in his heart! Bill received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Calvary Seminary where he has also taught undergraduate classes on youth ministry. He loves to spend time with his wife Jennifer and four boys. Along with sports, music is a huge part of the Hildebrand family—and Bill would have to admit that his musical hero is Steven Curtis Chapman. His favorite food is just about anything his wife makes (especially if it does not include mushrooms or fish!) or when eating out, Chipotle takes a close second to juicy South Dakota steak! Favorite movies would include Fireproof and Facing the Giants, and if he has time to watch TV, you might find him jumping between the History channel and Food network. His favorite verse mirrors his passion: “I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.” 3 John 4.
