Introducing the New Episcopal Administrator for the 6th Episcopal District

Greetings in the name of Him, who became likened unto us and might save us to become more like our Creator, Jesus Christ!

It is with great joy that I present and introduce Mrs. Sandra Alexander Hill as the new Episcopal Administrator for the Sixth Episcopal District. A dedicated servant leader, Mrs. Hill brings a wealth of experience in administration, ministry, and service to this role.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, and a lifelong member of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, Mrs. Hill has faithfully served in various leadership capacities within the church, most recently as the Lay Leader of the Central Georgia Conference. Her professional career spans decades in financial administration and leadership within the U.S. Department of Justice, culminating in her retirement as Southeast Regional Financial Administrator. She is also a proud graduate of Miles College and holds a Master of Divinity in Christian Education from Mercer University's McAfee School of Theology.

We are blessed to have her serve in this capacity, and I am confident that her dedication and expertise will be a tremendous asset to the Sixth Episcopal District.

Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Sandra Alexander Hill as she embarks on this new journey of service and leadership. You may reach Mrs. Hill via email at sandra27142@gmail.com, cell at (404) 375-8420, or Office at (404) 963-6652.

Bishop Thomas Louis Brown, Sr.
