Dr. Gill began her duties at AGTS in May 2006, after serving most recently as Commissioner of Discipleship and National Director of the Division of Christian Education for the General Council of the Assemblies of God (USA) from 2002-2006. From 1997-2001, she was senior pastor of Living Hope (a small-group-based church) in North Oaks, Minnesota. She has been a professor at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in New Testament, Greek, homiletics and music, and has served in missions in the Asia Pacific. (Dr. Gill has developed a two-semester video Greek Course.)

Dr. Gill is a world Christian. She participated in global events of the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization: Lausanne II in Manila, Philippines (1989), the Lausanne Forum 2004 in Pattaya, Thailand, Lausanne III in Cape Town, South Africa (2010), and serves on the US Lausanne Committee (since 2009), and the Theology Commission for the World Assemblies of God Fellowship (since 2009). She has traveled to over 30 countries, ministering around the globe in churches, retreats, camps and conferences.

Her research interests are in biblical exposition, formation, and women in ministry. She is a founding member of Christians for Biblical Equality, co-founder of Women of the Cloth, and member of the Network for Women in Ministry Steering Committee. She is co-author (with Barbara Cavaness) of God's Women—Then and Now (Grace & Truth, 2004) now in its third English edition and multiple language translations and author of “The Pastoral Epistles” in Life in the Spirit New Testament Commentary (Zondervan, 1999). Dr. Gill directs AGTS study tours and facilitates the AGTS D.Min. Coaching Cohort.

Dr. Gill lives a very active life and enjoys racing sailboats with her husband, Jan Gill, an architect specializing in church design. In 2002 and 2005 they were national champions in the M-16 class of the Inland Lake Yachting Association. (pictured below: Gills sailing and Dr. Gill with sailing trophies)
