staff spotlight
Hannah Thacher /// College & Community
Hi! I’m Hannah Thacher, and I’ve been part of the Harris Creek staff family since 2020. I was born in Ohio but grew up in Midland, Texas, and before landing in Waco, I made a few stops around the state. I graduated from Texas A&M, taught high school in Midland, and spent time at a summer camp in Tyler.
At Harris Creek, I get to serve with our College and Life Groups Teams, which is such a joy because I love walking alongside college students as they grow in their faith. I’m one of six siblings, and being “Aunt Hannah” to my niece and nephew is hands down the best role I could ask for.
When I’m not at church, you’ll likely find me watching basketball, road-tripping to a National Park, diving into a book or podcast that makes me think (or laugh), or cracking jokes with friends.
