Rev. Paul Gaug
Pastor Paul Gaug is our new pastor -- having come to HighPres in October. Paul and Lynda most recently served a 300-year-old congregation on Long Island. Since July, Chicagoland is their home, and they are grateful to live in a busy, large metropolitan area. Paul is a graduate of the University of Akron (Ohio) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (Massachusetts). Paul has served congregations in Ohio, Massachusetts, Missouri and New York. His focus is churches in transition. The Gaugs’ daughter Melissa lives in Park Ridge with her three sons, and son Andrew resides in Kansas City, Missouri. The Gaugs’ cat, Bruce, allows Paul and Lynda to live in his house in Des Plaines (as long as they behave and provide food). Paul loves theater, movies, traveling, concerts, museums, detailing cars, Cleveland sports (uh, oh!), holidays, the history of everything, Nate Bargatze (comedian), going on adventures with Lynda, lemon meringue pie, enjoying friends, spying on other churches, big cities, The Beatles, hanging out with grandkids, mentoring church pastors and mixing it up with all kinds of people. He especially is drawn to congregations coming to terms with our culture that is becoming more indifferent to participation in a faith community. |

DeeAnn Dillon
Administrative Associate I grew up in Bradley, IL and moved to Chicago while attending college. My husband and I moved to Europe after we were married, as he was a career Army officer. When we returned to the United States, we moved to Western Springs in 1996, and raised our two children. I joined Highlands Presbyterian Church in April 2017 and have enjoyed the many blessings from knowing and being a part of this wonderful congregation. Email DeeAnn at deeann@highpres.org |

My oldest and middle sons are teachers, and after spending five years in the United States Navy, my youngest son is attending college at the University of Illinois/Chicago. I have been married for twenty years to my best friend, Mike. I love Highlands Presbyterian Church! This year I am celebrating my 25th year as Director of Music! We are a very warm and inviting congregation. Please consider joining the choir and singing with us each Sunday from September through early June. No audition is necessary, just make a joyful noise!
