Home / About / Our People / Staff STAFF Home / About / Our People / Staff / Heidi Corona Administrative Assistant for Senior Pastor, Worship, & Communications Heidi Corona serves full-time as the Assistant to Sr. Pastor, Howard Griffin, to the Worship Ministry and the Communications Ministry. She has been on staff since the summer of 2015, working in Kids Ministry before moving into this position in Feb. of 2025. Heidi was a missionary’s kid, then a preacher’s kid, then a pastor’s wife, and now has the honor of serving in the church. She has a deep love for the Church, God’s family. Heidi graduated from Ozark Christian College with a Bachelor in Biblical Studies in 1994. She has volunteered for many years in her home church, serving alongside her pastor-husband, Greg. They have two grown children, Aidan and Wilson, who both work on staff at their home church as well. Aidan is married to Mallory, and they live in Amarillo. Heidi was delighted when God opened the door to serve at First Pres with this amazing staff and wonderful congregants. A favorite verse is John 6:66-69 where some of Jesus' followers didn't really like what Jesus was saying anymore, "they turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the twelve and asked, 'Are you also going to leave?' Simon Peter replied, 'Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God." heidic@firstpres.com (806) 350-5211
