 We are excited to have Ruth Hill |
A native of Bellingham, Washington, Ruth Hill attended Seattle Pacific University and graduated in 1972 with degrees in psychology and education. She continued her studies in education at the University of Washington.
In 1972 she and her husband, Brad Hill, were called by the Covenant to serve as missionaries to Congo (then Zaire). During nineteen years of service there, she taught high school, trained couples for pastoral ministry and was very active in women’s ministries. In 1991, the Hills moved back to Bellingham to serve Bellingham Evangelical Covenant Church for the next eight years. Ruth Hill has served on mission boards at the conference
and denominational level.
In September 1999 she was called to serve as Executive Minister of Women Ministries for the Evangelical Covenant Church. She and Brad now live in Chicago.
The Hills’ family includes daughter Rachel and Ben Cassidy, their three children Arthur, Grant and Helen; and daughter Rebecca and Robert Worl and their daughter, Annabelle.
