Jennifer keeps the church's financial records in order and supports the ministry staff as the administrative assistant for the church.

Hi, I’m Scott Beach. I’m excited to have fun exploring what it means to help the youth of Highland Methodist follow Christ as teenagers. I grew up in Oklahoma, have a wonderful wife, Sarah, who is in ministry at Westwood UMC in Cincinnati. We have two young children Clifford and Lucy. I am a nerd who enjoys geeking out over board games, Nerf and video games. 

A Ft. Thomas native, Cyndy brings her experience of thirty-three years of public school education and seven years at Bluebird. She and her husband Dan are active members at Highland Methodist and she feels blessed to have this opportunity to lead Bluebird Christian Preschool.  

Jeff helps to keep our campus clean and tidy throughout the week. 

Rick keeps track of the financial giving at Highland Methodist.
