Pastor Eloka and Marian Uzodike have been serving together in the body of Christ, for as long as they have been married. In 1997 they took their first pastoral role over a branch of the Redeemed Christian of Church of God in Lagos, Nigeria, but followed God's call to move to the United States 1n 1999. In the years to follow they dedicated their time to serving the church and its community through marriage counseling, mentorship to teenagers and young adults, and of course, teaching the Word of God. In 2009, the Uzodike's felt a strong calling to start a new church in Spring, TX -- a church that would be known for a focus on the unadulterated gospel and a mission to empower God's children to be Christ-like leaders in their community. Pastor Eloka and Marian Uzodike serve as the residing pastors of the Hilltop Church. Together they are blessed with three children - Levi, Muna, and Joshua who also serve in the Hilltop ministry.
