Samantha Eslick

The Media Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the operation and maintenance of the social media platforms and content.

-She was raised in Murfreesboro,TN. When she was born, her mom was active in the local Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints till 2013. The whole family then started attending the Experience Community Church in 2013 because the mom was seeing ECC practicing what it preached throughout the community outreach ministries it offered. She saw the leaders and congregation “walking their talk” and loving ALL people in the community especially the homeless and poor. Just like is commanded by Jesus in the Bible to do. 

She became a Pharmacy Technician October 2024.
