Guest Name:
Phil EuBank - Eastern Hills Community Church

Guest Intro:
Phil is the Lead Pastor at Eastern Hills Community Church. Phil grew up in the mid west and after spending the last eight years in Seattle, Phil and his family have relocated to Aurora, Colorado where I live. He joined the leadership team at Eastern Hills.

Phil served in a lot of different areas of ministry and his professional background in technology gives him a passion to reach people through cutting edge technology. He builds systems that maximize the impact of his personal investment and that also positive impacts the team he's a part of.

Phil's ultimate desire is that hope can be delivered to people that think they're beyond the reach of anyone who cares enough to help. Phil is a deep, deep man of faith and that's clearly evident in the fact that he's a big Cleveland Browns fan.
