Leadership Team – Forest Hills Baptist Church in Rockville

Nathanael Caudill

Pastor

Nathanael is a proud Hoosier, born and raised in northern Indiana. After high school, he joined the United States Army. His time in the military took him to Georgia, Arizona (where he & his wife Jessica were married in 2009), Afghanistan, and Texas.

Nathanael began to feel God’s leading into the ministry after leaving the military and began training at a Bible Institute in Texas. In March of 2018, God led Nathanael, Jessica, and their two children to Rockville, Maryland to serve at Forest Hills as the youth pastor. In August of 2020, Forest Hills called Nathanael to be their lead pastor.

Nathanael loves to study and discover the truths of the Word of God, and share it with others through preaching. He loves the people at Forest Hills and is grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow in Christ alongside them. Nathanael enjoys Chicago Bears football, movies, good coffee, playing video games, spicy foods, and spending time with his family.

Jessica Caudill

Music + Youth

Jessica is a former small-town girl from Willcox, Arizona and, prior to moving to Maryland, spent most of her life in the beautiful American Southwest. She studied education at Golden State Baptist College and now puts that degree to good use homeschooling her children. Jessica is married to Nathanael and they have 3 children.

At Forest Hills, Jessica plays the piano for services, works with ladies ministries, runs our social media, and helps out with photography at church functions.

Jessica loves history and loves living in the DC area and getting to visit so many historical places. She also loves coffee, Mexican food (especially anything with green chilies!), crafting, the Chicago Bears, and thrift shopping.

Jeff Kirchoff

Music + Deacon

Having grown up in Xenia, Ohio and recently moving here in 2018, Jeffrey now has the wonderful privilege to lead the music ministry here at Forrest Hills. His goal is to focus on the content of the songs and on the genuine praise and worship that music can give to God. Outside of church, Jeffrey’s biggest goal in life is to provide for his family and to live in such a way that lays down a foundation for future generations to follow. There are few thing that motivate him more than the thought of taking care of and investing in the people that are closest to him. Jeffrey likes to spend his free time with close friends and often relaxes through recreational cycling or simply getting outdoors and unplugging from the city. There are few places He would rather spend his time than at a campsite on a lake.

Dan Parris

Missions + Deacon

Dan came to Forest Hills searching for answers to some of life’s most challenging questions. In the process of having the most important answers revealed, he learned to trust Jesus (again). He feels privileged to serve where needed as a deacon, and on the Missions team.

An avid learner, with a deep curiosity, Dan loves the diverse culture, food, and ideas found in the DC Metro area. He loves hearing all sides of a topic, and pursuing truth with the intent of using the knowledge he gains to serve people. He is excited to be part of and witness what unity through, truth and shared biblical values, authentically looks like.

Dan loves playing team sports, hole-in-the-wall food joints, bicycling, live music, and generally being outside with friends and family.
