Vicki has worked in the field of adult education for over 25 years and is an ordained Baptist Minister. As Executive Director, she has helped lead the Wayne E. Oates Institute since 1996. In that capacity she has also remained active in program development and facilitation. Previous to her work with the Oates Institute, Vicki spent three years as a hospital chaplain, earning 9 units of Clinical Pastoral Education, and two years as a pastoral counselor-in-training. Her passion for education and pastoral care springs out of her commitment to be a Christ follower, a commitment which began at age 7.
In May of 2004 Vicki earned her Doctor of Ministry degree from Drew University (Madison New Jersey) in 21st Century leadership. Since that time she has also served on the faculty of Drew’s Global Online Doctor of Ministry Program. Vicki completed her Master of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. “Born and bred” in the Panhandle of Texas, she received her Bachelor’s degree from what was previously known as West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas.
Vicki has been married to Leslie Hollon since 1976 and has been in the role of the pastor’s wife for over 30 years. She and Les have 3 young adult children, Rachel (’79), Ryan (’82), and Steven (’88). They are also excited about their future daughter-in-law, Michelle Lugalia.
