Bio: Jilian Pestotnik grew up in Columbus, Ohio and attended Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois where she earned a BA in Psychology, Bible and Christian Ministry and met her husband, Brian. She later earned a graduate teaching certificate at Bradley University. She taught elementary in Illinois and Oregon and middle school in Statesville, North Carolina then spent 8 years teaching English at Mitchell Community College before joining LPCA as it began in 2010.

Jilian and her husband Brian have a son and daughter. Together they enjoy traveling, exploring new cities, watching British TV shows, and getting to know others gathered around a table or over a good cup of coffee. It is the passion of Jilian’s heart to see more people love Jesus and to see others love Jesus more.
