          PREACHING

photo"I have always considered it a blessing from heaven being able to sit at the feet of Rev. Elizabeth Hagan to hear her preach. Rev Elizabeth has within each sermon a good combination of head and heart. At times, we hear preachers who embrace one or the other (a great ability to exegete biblical text or the gift of sharing love and compassion for God's people)  Rev Elizabeth has both. That is a gift that she so willingly shares with the community of faith."

-Rev. Jean Robinson-Casey, Pastor, MLK Church, Reston, VA

PASTORAL LEADERSHIP

She effortlessly connects with all age groups, genders, and beliefs.  During her time as the Pastor for the Washington Plaza Baptist Church (WPBC) in Reston Virginia, Elizabeth presented inspiring and fresh-thinking sermons; she led and moderated stimulating and thought-provoking bible studies. We are proud of Elizabeth and we are happy to see that her teaching and sharing continues in this new venue.  We were sad to see her depart WPBC, but we know the good Lord has decided to use her skills, character, and energy to spread His message and agenda."

-Craig Mass, Washington Plaza Baptist Church, Trustee

SOCIAL MEDIA

zach-dawes“Elizabeth reached out to our organization regarding ways to improve our social media efforts. She offered concrete, practical suggestions on ways to improve our communications, especially via Twitter, in order to gain new followers and engage current ones. We have implemented many of her ideas, which has produced much good fruit–more followers and increased re-tweets. If you are wondering how to improve your organization’s social media presence and outreach, I would recommend you consult with Elizabeth.”

RETREATS

-Rev. Chris Moore, Pastor, Fellowship Congregational Church, Tulsa, OK
