Jeff Hinson (Elder)

Jeff Hinson was born in Linden, Tennessee on March 24, 1962. He grew up there, hunting and fishing, in the scenic hills of middle Tennessee. In his third year of college at Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, he was asked by a friend to give a ride to a young lady attending college at David Lipscomb University in Nashville. Her name was Karen Perkins. Jeff and Karen walked together in their friends’ wedding and they married two years later on July 6, 1985. They have three children: Jarrod, Andrew, and Megan. Jarrod and his wife Katie have blessed them with one granddaughter, Mackenzie and one grandson, James.

Karen grew up in, what later became, the Sunset Church of Christ and Jeff was baptized there in 1984. He became an elder in 2004. A favorite verse of Jeff is Philippians 4:12-13 “ I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
