Minister of Education and Children

Bill and his wife of over 32 years, Terry, have been members of Crestview since 1994.  They have two grown children, Michael and Lisa, and five grandchildren.  Bill was called to serve on staff and ordained to the gospel ministry at Crestview early in 2003 after completing the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry degree at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Bill's earnest desire is to share the testimony of what the grace of God can accomplish through the Born Again experience he received in April of 1992.  Bill's belief is that the church of Jesus Christ will grow by listening to, following, and loving the ONE who died for it.  The goal of having a healthy body is accomplished by fulfilling the great commission He gave to it, through knowing and doing the two greatest commandments He desires of it.  Loving God and Loving Others... there is no greater goal!
