Hillary Basden, Sr. High Youth Leader
I am married to Scott Basden and we have a 12 year old daughter named Gabreal. Also, I have 1 dog named Busa and 2 cats Sebastian and Sadie. I have been a member of the church for almost 4 years now and am truly grateful to have been welcomed into this church community. I am the Senior High Youth Group Leader and the Senior High Sunday School Teacher. I have a full time job as a veterinary technician…it is similar to being a nurse only we work with animals. When I am not at work or hanging out with my youth group, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading mystery novels, traveling, riding the motorcycle with my husband, doing charity work such as the Riley Ride for Kids and going to movies. If you have any questions about our Sunday school class or youth group please feel free to contact me or just come and join us to see for yourself! Have a blessed day!
