Pastor Jeff Hill is the founding pastor of Ascension and has spent his life helping people experience real transformation through faith, perseverance, and honest community. With more than twenty years of ministry and leadership experience, Jeff is known for his straightforward, compassionate style and his deep conviction that no life is beyond redemption. Much of Jeff’s work has been with individuals and families walking through addiction, loss, and major life transitions, but his calling has always been broader than one area. He has a heart for people who feel stuck, overlooked, or unsure of who they are becoming, and he believes the Church should be a place where people can encounter Jesus in a real way and begin again. Jeff’s leadership is shaped not only by ministry, but also by years of building businesses, leading teams, and walking through life with people outside the walls of the church. Together, Jeff and Shauna bring experience in leadership, academics, mental health, and ministry, allowing them to guide people with a perspective that is both spiritually grounded and deeply practical. His desire for Ascension is to build a church where people can heal deeply, grow in their faith, and rise into the life God has called them to live, not alone, but together.
