Hailey was called to FOPC in 2017 to serve as co-pastor alongside her husband and best friend, Ben. Before moving to Illinois, her career in ministry took her all over the country, serving at a variety of churches from Seattle to Boston to the Gulf Coast of Florida. She was formally educated at Trinity University in San Antonio where she studied Religion and Comparative Literature followed by Princeton Theological Seminary from which she graduated in 2011.
Hailey has a deep passion for ministering to families and exploring the beauty of the Gospel with God’s youngest children. Some of her most meaningful work has been centered on advocacy for the needs and education of children from all socio-economic strata. She also devotes much of her energy to mission of other kinds such as: serving on non-profit boards, advancing women’s rights, and participating in interfaith initiatives and dialogue.
If you feel drawn to justice-expanding work, good books, courageous conversations, or dainty cups of tea, Hailey is your girl. She also likes bad dancing, narrating everything, and holding your baby for you.
