Snapshot of Accomplishments
Hello Team: We applaud the Rev. Fayrene T. Koroma for her many accomplishments over the last 30 years! Wow - What a testimony of Healings, Freedom from Domestic Violence/Human Trafficking, Thriving Small Businesses and much more.
We WELCOME our new Counselor Intern, Ms. Samantha Mills, Marymount University
Hello everyone, my name is Samantha, and I'm working with Rev. Faye as a Counseling Intern at Church on the Hill. I’m currently working toward my Master’s in Forensic and Legal Psychology at Marymount University, where I spend most of my time studying crisis intervention, child victimization, research, and how we can blend psychology into the justice system to better serve our society. I’ve had the chance to learn from real‑world experience too — from rotating through investigations and crime prevention at the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office to working in a residential mental health facility for adolescents. Those experiences shaped my heart for helping people in tough moments, and I plan to continue that work by pursuing a Master’s in Counseling.
Outside of school, I stay busy working as a substitute teacher, and server. But through all of it, my faith keeps me grounded. I love serving others, encouraging people who are struggling, and showing up wherever God opens a door. Whether it’s school, work, or ministry‑minded service, my goal is always the same: to help people feel safe, valued, and seen. I’m grateful to be part of Church on the Hill's mission of supporting fellow Christians through their professional and spiritual goals!
Ms. Samantha Mills
REMEMBER TO MARK YOUR CALENDAR AND JOIN US FOR AN UPCOMING EVENT!

NNCMW Spotlight, Mr. Antoine Lunsford
Antoine Lunsford is an author and elementary school educator from the D.C. Metro Area. He has always enjoyed writing stories as a child.
Throughout his high school and college years, he realized that writing was truly an art that he was very passionate about. But, he didn't believe that a career as an author was a reality for him.
Between the years of 2015 and 2017, his unbridled passion and desire to provide children with quality literature that had great story lines, cool characters and valuable lessons to be learned, increased daily. As a result, he published his first book, Little Andy: The Greatest Recess Monitor Ever, in the Little Andy's World Series in the fall of 2017.
We were honored that as the result of the Thursday, June 4, '20 NNCMW Annual Elections, Mr. Antoine Lunsford was elected as a Church on the Hill-NNCMW Board Member.

The Late Mr. Frank Reaves, Board Member Emeritus
The Church on the Hill assisted the late Mr. Frank Reaves with the restructuring of RM Thornton, Inc. Capitol Heights, MD. The company was founded in 1932 by Russell Thornton, a union steamfitter.
The firm did its first air-conditioning job in 1947, At the Hecht Co., in Silver Spring, MD. When the Founder died in 1957, Frank Reaves took over as president. He later bought the company, which by 2001 had over 100 employees and annual sales of about $25 million. The company was one of our first Platinum Sponsors (Contributions of $1,000 or more)!
At the Washington Cathedral, Thornton became one of the few contractors in the world ever to install air conditioning in a giant Gothic Cathedral. Much of the work was done high above the ground, while welding had to be performed in very tight areas.
IBM became a substantial customer for R.M. Thornton with process piping work projects that extended more than ten years.
Currently, the company has changed its name to RM Thornton Mechanical.
