Meet the Mayers


Mark and Jill Mayer have been members of Northside for the last nine years. Jill serves in the children’s ministry as a preschool teacher while Mark teaches junior high boys. Mark and Jill are very hospitable and hardly pass on a chance to host people and grill out on the back patio. Jill enjoys reading, being outside and being with family and friends. Mark lists eating out (nice), watching football, playing with his kids and scuba diving as his personal favorites.(Hard to find a good diving hole in Indiana)

The Mayers have a heart for people who need to know Jesus. They frequently lead a bible study in their neighborhood as a way to build community as well as share the Gospel. They have infectious personalities that cause people to be drawn to them. As they look forward to Hamilton Village, they desire to, “See us in a church facility with growth that could not be explained except only by God’s grace. We would love for it to be an irresistible place that draws people to Jesus so that we continue to face the issue of ‘so now where do we put all these people?’” Mark and Jill see Northside serving as a mentor church helping Hamilton Village to become its own separate entity. Jill’s confirmation to become a part of Hamilton Village came from 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that you labor is not in vain.”

Mark and Jill have been married for almost ten years. They have two children; Simon and Anna. Please make praying for the Mayers on Wednesdays a weekly priority.
