Amanda Fisher
Receptionist / Event Coordinator
How did you first come to Eastminster?
My brother, Matt Allen. His band, Of The Rescue, plays at ekklesia on Sunday evenings. He called me about the job opening and encouraged me to apply.
What do you love most about your role at Eastminster?
The variety the role has to offer. I get to work with a wide range of people doing different things daily, which I like.
Other than Jesus, who has had the greatest impact on your life?
Everyone I come into contact with impacts my life in one way or another; however, if I had to narrow it down to one person I would choose my Grandma Allen. Growing up, I spent many Saturday nights at my grandma’s. We would have so much fun watching TV and visiting. Sunday mornings I would attend church with her, and we would always grab lunch at the local Hardees after. She bought me my first Bible. She is the most Christian woman I know and is very strong in her faith, which I admire. She’s very knowledgeable in God’s Word. She has taught me so much about life and been there to guide me. I admire her very much.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
Hmm, well this will be odd and gross to some, but I like the smell of skunk. Everyone who does know that thinks it’s disgusting!
What are you reading right now?
I attended Hope Christian Church this past Sunday, and they handed out copies of Heaven Is for Real. I just started reading it. Amazing so far!
What is your favorite food?
Homemade Chicken and Noodles
What’s your favorite movie? Or, who is your favorite musician/composer/band?
Footloose is my favorite movie. Favorite band currently is Needtobreathe, however, I love Jeremy Camp just as much.
Is there a Bible verse God is currently using in your life?
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
What’s your biggest challenge?
Learning all my job duties and rocking at them!
Tell us about your family:
I have been very blessed with the most loving, supportive and compassionate family. I do not know what I would do without them. My mom and dad are amazing and I am so thankful for them. My sister, Heather, is my best friend; my brother, Matt, is one of the most talented and gifted people I know; and my sister-in-law, Aubrie, has a huge heart. I am so glad she is part of our family. Lastly, my husband, Jarod. He is my best friend, amazing and sweetest guy ever. We were married on January 28, 2012. Lots of exciting things happening.
