Jill Silvers

Jill was born in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan to Michael and Lynn Silvers. When Jill was just a year old, her father accepted a job in Findlay and the family moved out of the big city.  They began attending Central Church of Christ and since then the Central family has been an important part of Jill’s life.

Jill graduated from Van Buren High School in 2004.  Following high school, she attended Bluffton University in Bluffton, Ohio.  While at Bluffton, Jill was involved in many campus activities such as singing in the worship band for chapel and a women’s choir, leading hall bible studies as a hall chaplain, and throwing discus and javelin on the track team.   Jill decided to major in social work because she has a passion to help others.  She graduated in 2008 with a BA in Social Work and shortly after became a licensed social worker in Ohio. 

Jill returned to Findlay and accepted a position as a service coordinator at a non-profit agency called Help Me Grow.  She provides support to families who are expecting a child and/or have a child birth to age three.

Jill has always enjoyed being with youth of all ages.  Whether it was helping in the church nursery, being a group leader at VBS, spending a summer working at a church camp, or staying up all night at a teen lock-in, she has had all kinds of awesome experiences with youth.  She began helping with the Jr/Sr high youth groups more regularly when she moved back to Findlay after college. When the opportunity came in December of 2008 that the group needed a leader, Jill felt God calling her to step into this ministry and became Interim Youth Director. 

Outside of work and being with youth, Jill enjoys singing, doing outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and wakeboarding, working out in Zumba classes, learning the countries of Africa and watching musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain.
