Jodi Hargreaves
Office Co-ordinator
JODI HARGREAVES - For those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself. My name is Jodi Hargreaves and as the Office Coordinator; I am now a member of the Third Avenue United Church Staff. I have worked in the public service sector; working for the City of North Battleford in Aquatics for over 25 years. I started as a Lifeguard and eventually became the General Manager of the Innovation Plex, ending my career with the City in 2020 to pursue other interests and opportunities. I was also self employed as a Licenced Massage and Reflexology Therapist and work casual at Battlefords Denture Care.
I have played many roles through the years learning, leading, developing programs, policy and procedures. My favorite part of my career has always been working with people, whether staff, patrons or community organizations.
Third Avenue United Church has always been my home, I was baptised, confirmed and married here. Growing up, I participated in Sunday school and CGIT. I sang in the Junior Choir, looking forward to the day I could join the Senior Choir. I have made many friends and have fond memories of the years spent growing up in the Sr. Choir here at Third Avenue.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs and cooking and gardening.
I look forward to working with the Third Avenue United Church Family & Friends. I hope to help our Church Community grow and build strong relationships within the Congregation and in our Community.
