Zion hill baptist church: staff
Mr. Josh Wyatt
Pulpit Supply
We are grateful to welcome Josh Wyatt to our church family as he fills our pulpit on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Josh brings a faithful heart for Scripture and a steady commitment to serving God’s people. We are blessed to have him lead us in worship and God’s Word during this time of transition for our church family. May his presence and message encourage us as we continue growing together in Christ.
Ms. Harley Wicks
Secretary & Treasurer
harley@zionhillbuford.org, (770)945-5865
Harley has been a cherished member of our church family for more than 20 years. In the summer of 2019, she stepped into the role of church secretary, and in January 2025, she faithfully began serving as our treasurer. Her life reflects a deep love for Jesus, her family and friends, and the simple joys of iced coffee and crocheting. A proud cat mom, Harley brings warmth and creativity into everything she does.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, equipping her with both compassion and dedication in serving others.
Harley’s favorite verse, Romans 8:18 — “The pain that you have been feeling can’t compare to the joy that’s coming” — is a beautiful reminder of her faith and hope in Christ.
Mr. Juan Gordillo

He went on to complete his diploma in Auto Body Collision and Repair at Lanier Technical College in 2012, equipping him with valuable skills that have served him well in his career. For the past seven years, Juan has worked as a dedicated service technician in the garage door industry, bringing both expertise and integrity to his work.
Beyond his professional life, Juan treasures his family. He and his wife have been joyfully married for 11 years, and together they are raising a beautiful family that includes one daughter, one stepdaughter, and a new baby on the way.
At the heart of Juan’s life is his love for Jesus and his devotion to his family. His faith guides his steps, and his commitment to those he loves is evident in everything he does.

Teaching kids about Jesus is the Best Job Ever!
Ms. Marion King
Children's Leader
Marion accepted Jesus as her Savior on July 18, 1982, a day that forever shaped her life and the way she serves others. In the summer of 1996, God led her to become a member of Zion Hill Baptist Church, and shortly after, He placed a new calling on her heart: to begin the very first Children’s Church at Zion Hill.
For more than 20 years, Marion has faithfully taught every age group in Sunday School—from Pre‑K classes to Senior Adults. No matter the age, her passion has always been the same: helping people grow in their walk with Christ.
Through her Christian journey, Marion has learned one truth above all others—having a personal, daily relationship with Jesus is the most important thing in the world. To her, a life without Christ simply isn’t worth living.
A proud 1974 graduate of Buford High School, Marion has spent most of her life in Buford. She was married for 49.5 years until God called her husband home in March of 2024. Her family is one of her greatest blessings: 3 children, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great‑grandchildren—with another precious great‑grand on the way in March of 2027.
Marion treasures many Scriptures, but a few hold special places in her heart: Isaiah 41:10, Philippians 4:6–7, and 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18—verses that reflect her trust in God’s strength, peace, and joy.
Mr. Ian Cheng

Ian was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and immigrated to the United States during high school, settling in Eugene, Oregon. After college, he moved to California before relocating to Buford, Georgia during the COVID pandemic—a place he now proudly calls home.
At church, Ian faithfully serves behind the scenes, helping Sundays run seamlessly and creating an atmosphere where worship feels effortless.
During the week, he leads a startup software company, often burning the midnight oil as a self-proclaimed night owl who finds inspiration long after sunset.
Weekends bring a welcome change of pace: time spent with his wife and embracing life’s simpler joys.
