  • Madyson Bain

    Director of Finance and Operations | email me

    I’m Madyson Bain, Director of Finance and Operations at Hillsboro Presbyterian Church. A small-town Tennessee native and proud UT grad, I’ve been married five years and love raising our two young boys. Faith, family, and community fuel everything I do. In my free time, catch me on a ball field somewhere or out playing with our precious dog! 

Our Session

At Hillsboro Presbyterian Church, our leadership team is known as the Session. In the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Session acts as the local governing body—much like a board of directors—composed of our pastors and church members (called Elders) who are elected directly by the congregation.


What the Session Does

  • Guides Our Mission: They ensure we actively work to be a living, breathing example of Jesus Christ in the world today. 
  • Fosters an Open Environment: The Session protects our culture, ensuring we remain an approachable place where difficult questions are engaged. 
  • Oversees Key Ministries: They provide strategic direction and practical support for our community, prioritizing small groups and maintaining a strong focus on children.
