Susan Hill

Christian Education director

Sue was born in Massachusetts and lived in Rhode Island until she was 9, at which time her family moved to Willingboro, NJ, due to her father's work. They found Beverly Presbyterian Church in 1963, where she grew up coming to know the Lord through Sunday School, Youth Group, and Worship. She met her husband, Bob, at college, and they now have two grown children and one granddaughter. Sue retired in 2012, having worked as a Speech and Language Specialist for 35 years.

She and her husband have tried to serve the Lord in various ways. Her service has mostly involved working with children, here at the Beverly Church, through assisting with Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.

"The Lord has commanded us as His church to teach the children His truth."

Deuteronomy 4:9 NIV says,

“Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them”

and Psalm 78: 1 - 8 NIV says,

“ O my people , hear My teaching; listen to the words of My mouth. I will open My mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from old-what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power and the wonders He has done. He decrees statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which He commanded our forefathers to teach their children so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget His deeds but would keep His commands. They would not be like their forefathers–a stubborn, rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to Him.
