Leadership Board

Term: 2023-26

I am drawn to work as a member of HMUMC Leadership Board to help the church navigate through these transitional times. HMUMC is a place where my children grew up. I have been humbled to serve in multiple other capacities at the church and feel that this opportunity will allow me to have my largest impact. I believe in our church and want to help it support the whole community.

My wife Bonnie and I have been members of HMUMC for 20 + years. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren, 4 boys and 1 girl, ranging in age from 12 to 22. ​

I am looking forward to serving on The Leadership Board to help understand and respond to our challenges so we can strengthen the ministries of our church.

Term: 2023-26

I have been a member to HMUMC since 2009. I feel called to serve on the board to help our church navigate these changes. I have served as a small group leader for student ministry for the last year and a half as well as volunteered in several facets of kids ministry. I feel the call to serve by helping lift up the next generation of disciples of Jesus.

My name is Carly, and I have been a part of HMUMC my whole life. Being in student ministry the last couple of years has opened my eyes and I have grown stronger in my faith and knowledge of God. ​

I volunteer in kids' ministry on Sunday morning, and I love teaching them about God. I work well with others, and think being on The Leadership Board will grow my leadership skills and help me to share my faith with others.

Term: 2025

Our family of four have been members of HMUMC for 8 years. Over the years, at a number of churches, my wife Paula and I have served on several Administrative Boards, or as staff members. We are followers of Jesus and want to see HMUMC grow and prosper. ​

I have special interest in growing the youth group with Max and Nora having a couple of years left in student ministry. I am convinced that student ministry is a key indicator of the health of the church.

My name is Sean Platt and a lifelong native of Dacula. I have been married to my wife Myriah Platt for 10 years and we have an 8 year old daughter. I am a mortgage loan officer. I am also a small business owner for a local demolition company. ​

I love to serve in kids ministry on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I enjoy making an impact on the younger generation who will one day make up our congregation. ​

I am honored to serve my church family on The Leadership Board.

My name is Valda Everette, I am a widow, a mother of four and a grandmother of eight. I was raised in the United Methodist Church and raised my children in the church too. ​

I have served churches in a variety of ways, and I enjoy singing in the choir at HMUMC. I am honored to serve on the Leadership Board and will serve Jesus, who is my guide, my strength and my all.

My name is Megan and I have been married to Eric for 16 years. We have three children, Ellie (13), Olivia (11), and Eliot (7). I am currently in my second year as a middle school librarian but spent thirteen years as a language arts teacher.​

We found a home at HMUMC primarily because it is exactly what our children need in this season for their spiritual growth. ​

I think being a member of The Leadership Board will be a great opportunity for me to serve the church.

My wife, our three children, and I have been members of Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church for over 10 years and are deeply grateful for the many ways this church family has blessed our lives. We especially love the student ministry and the opportunities HMUMC provides to serve through ministry and mission.​

Term: 2026-28

I'm happy to serve on the Leadership Board at our church and bring more people to God. ​

Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church has brought so much joy and happiness to my family and me through the years that I know in my heart that this is where I need to be.

Term: 2026-28

HMUMC has been my church home for the past six years, and it truly feels like family.  Through this community, I have found connection, purpose, and growth.  As a member of the leadership board, I hope to offer insight and be a voice for the women and children of the church, helping ensure their needs and perspectives are represented in the life of our congregation.​

Term: 2026-28

My wife, Joy, and I looked for a church to call home for a long time.  Once our children were born, we knew we wanted to raise them with Christian values and solid foundation. No place felt more like a church home than HMUMC. I look forward to coming every week and when we miss a time of worship I don’t feel as full as I should.  ​​​

I look forward to serving on the Leadership Board and will do so with humility and grace.
