New Equipper Editor

Join us in welcoming the next Equipper editor.

By Michelle Hartman, Communications Director, Steele Creek, North Carolina, U.S.

I am excited to share that Elizabeth Mullins has been promoted to Publications Editor for Grace Communion International. Elizabeth joined our team in 2022 as Publications Assistant, joining us with extensive expertise from her previous work as a contractor for Google, where she performed document control and copy editing. She also brought valuable pastoral experience, having served as a pastoral resident and playing a key role in relaunching a congregation. She quickly demonstrated dedication, skill, and leadership which led to her promotion to Publications Coordinator, and during her time on the team we have also celebrated her ordination — an affirmation of her Christlike empathy, pastoral heart, and deep love for Jesus and His church.

Elizabeth’s experience combines technical expertise and pastoral ministry, creating a unique foundation for her work. She serves not only in her role on the Media Team but also within her church plant team in Durham, NC, where she place-shares in her neighborhood and is working toward the launch of a parish church. This integration of pastoral experience and her strong background in editing and writing equips her perfectly for her new role, allowing her to seamlessly merge her love for the church with her editorial expertise.

Elizabeth is not only a strategic and thoughtful leader but also a prophetic voice, calling us to see the ways we can join Jesus in bringing the kingdom near. Her intentionality is evident in the inspirational stories of Healthy Church she shares in Update, and I am confident she will continue to elevate the articles from across GCI as she now manages Equipper in her new role as Publications Editor.

In this role, Elizabeth will oversee a network of contracted writers, ensuring editorial excellence and alignment with GCI’s vision and mission. She will also be intentional in gathering resources and formational practices that support our pastors and leaders around the world. This reflects her deep love for the body of Christ, and her unwavering commitment to equipping and encouraging its members to live out their calling.

I look forward to the creativity and excellence she will bring to the new content she manages, inspiring and equipping our fellowship to continue living and sharing the gospel. Please join me in celebrating Elizabeth’s promotion and in praying for her as she continues to serve with passion and purpose!
