Leadership

After graduating from Oakland City University with a degree in Religious Studies, Preston and his wife Kellie first joined the Liberty Hill family in 2012 when he accepted the role of worship leader. Over the years, he grew in ministry and community focus as the youth pastor and later the associate pastor at Liberty Hill. 

Chris and his wife Sheryl have been a part of our Liberty Hill family since 2010, and have continually served as highly dedicated volunteers in numerous roles. In 2018, Chris began pursuing a call into ministry and began serving with our staff.  He has a Master of Theological Studies degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and he is employed as IT Manager at WW Wood Products. Chris and Sheryl have two children,  Adeline and Ansley.

Greg joined the staff at Liberty Hill in December of 2017. Greg is a southeast Missouri native and has served as a pastor, youth pastor, and music minister in Stoddard County since 1993. Greg has a Bachelor of Music degree in instrumental music from the University of Memphis, and a Master of Ministry degree from Baptist Bible Seminary. Greg loves to help people know and experience the grace that God offers through Jesus. Greg married his wife Penny in 1998. Penny is a librarian at Bloomfield Schools. They have two children, Benjamin and Sarah.

Kellie and her husband Preston first became a part of the Liberty Hill family in 2012, where they had the opportunity to serve The Hub Student Ministry. In 2018, she and her family transitioned to Generation Church in Portland, TN. While at Generation, Kellie served as the director of guest experience and assimilation.

Kellie and her family were excited to rejoin the Liberty Hill family in 2024. Kellie loves to serve the church in any capacity, but especially loves helping create environments where people feel welcomed, walking alongside people as they navigate their faith journey and as they take next steps in becoming more like Jesus Christ, and encouraging women of all ages through teaching the gospel. She also really loves a good appetizer and a fountain Diet Mt. Dew. Preston and Kellie have been married since 2010 and have four kids who equally love to serve people and the local church: Mollie, Parker, Laynie, and Hallie.

Stephanie and her family  made Liberty Hill their church home in 2021, and soon began serving as our Office Manager. Stephanie graduated from Bloomfield, and her husband Allen graduated from Dexter, and they returned to our area in 2021 after living out of state for many years. Stephanie has a passion for welcoming children with open arms, teaching them to know and love God, and helping them realize they are a vital part of the church today—not just the church of tomorrow.  Her husband Allen works as a Software Engineer, and they have four children;  Chloe, Sheldon, Kaydee, and Isabella.

Tyler began attending Liberty Hill in March 2024 and quickly found a home within the church family. He joined the worship team later that year, and his heart for leading others in Christ-centered worship led him to join our team in June 2025. With a Bachelor of Music Education degree, Tyler brings both skill and intentionality to his role. He deeply believes that we are worshipers first, musicians second, and he seeks to cultivate a culture of worship that flows from the heart before it ever touches a stage. Tyler has been married to his wife, Liv, since July 2021. They share their home with four dogs and are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their twins, Ezra and Esther.

Tyler and his wife April have been a vital part of Liberty Hill since they began attending in 2006. Over the years he has faithfully served as a volunteer on our audio-video team, and presently serves as the Technical Director for our worship services. A lifelong Dexter native, Tyler works hard at making sure our audio, visual, and lighting systems provide a seamless experience for our worship services both online and in-person. He and April have two children, Brooke and Austin.

Ron Williams grew up in the community of Aid, and Liberty Hill Church was his childhood church home. Ron entered into the ministry in 1966, and pastored churches in Missouri until retiring in 2010. Over the course of his ministry, Ron attended Hannibal-Lagrange University, and Southwest Baptist Bible college. Ron and his wife are invaluable members of our Liberty Hill community, and their love for the church shows in the many ways they serve!
