Peyton Hill
Lead Pastor
What do you do at Christ City Church?
I shepherd, preach, pray, and lead.
How did Jesus change your life?
My parents and local church gave me gospel kindling that the Spirit eventually set aflame into a passion for Jesus. Even though I knew I was a sinner and needed a Savior early in life, God did a huge work in me as a senior at Mississippi State. He broke me over my sin, gave me a love for the Word, and magnetized me to Jesus.
What do you love about Huntsville?
It’s a beautiful place with amazing people, a growing food scene, and lots of growth.
What’s something people would be surprised to learn about you?
My kids think I’m athletic because I love sports, but their mom is 10x better than me at every sport we play together.
If you were to have your childhood dream job, what would your job be?
Beach lifeguard

Theo of Golden–he’s kind, a great question asker, and generous.
Favorite way to spend a free Saturday?
Sleep late, coffee and Bible/books, fun adventure with the family, lunch out, sporting event in the afternoon, Chipotle on the couch with my kids, a late night talk with my wife, and then read fiction before falling asleep.
