Aimee Phillips
What is your role at HOPE, in your own words?
I help champion a culture of serving at HOPE by inviting people to see volunteering as an important part of following Jesus and growing as a disciple, not just filling a need. I work closely with volunteer coordinators across our church’s ministries to encourage and equip people to get involved, create meaningful opportunities to serve, and celebrate the impact volunteers are making throughout our church.
What’s your favorite verse/passage of scripture and why?
Psalm 23 is deeply meaningful to me. Shortly after I began attending HOPE, Pete taught on this powerful scripture, and it became the comfort I had been searching for over the years. I had gone through one of the hardest seasons of my life—losing both of my parents at a young age. In that pain, Psalm 23 reminded me of God’s constant presence, peace, and care when everything else felt like it was falling apart. It has remained a steady source of strength, reassuring me that God is both my guide and my comforter, no matter what I face.
What year did you start coming to HOPE? Working at HOPE?
Attending 2007, working 2024.
What’s something that brings you joy?
My family and sitting in a beach chair with my feet in the sand watching the waves.
What’s your go-to comfort food or coffee order?
I’ll never say no to a doughnut.
If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
