Hilda was born and raised in Lebanon in the Middle East into a Christian family. Hilda accepted Jesus as her Savior as a child, but wandered away from her faith in her twenties. After graduating with a Master’s in City Planning from the University of Texas at Austin (hook ‘em horns!), she returned to the Middle East, as a newly-wed, and resided in Jordan. In 1995, Hilda returned to the U.S. with her two daughters, Mays and Masar and settled in Puyallup.
God started tugging on her heart to draw close to Him again and after meeting with Pastor HR, who told her about RLFC, she began attending weekend services in September of 2000. Soon after, Hilda started volunteering in various administrative functions and was hired on as the Administrator in January of 2003.
Hilda considers it an honor to serve the Lord through equipping the ministries of RLFC with all their needs; organizing different church functions, and above all teaching INSTE, 101 and 201 classes, where her passion of seeing people’s spiritual walk become deeper is realized.
Hilda loves to spend time with her daughters and her two grandsons, Riley and Ethan. She enjoys gardening, reading, listening to music and spending time in God’s magnificent creation of nature.
