Born in South Carolina, Bill grew up in Cape Girardeau, MO, before moving to Charlotte, NC when he was 12. He graduated from Presbyterian College in 1990. After a year in commercial banking, he returned to Charlotte where he met Lisa at Forest Hill Church in 1991. They were married in June of 1992 and shortly thereafter Bill entered into ministry.
After studying at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS and graduating with a Master of Divinity in 1996, Bill spent the next several years working with the college and singles ministry at Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN before shifting ministry gears to plant All Saints Presbyterian in the Midtown area of Memphis.
As a “Carolina boy,” the Carolinas were calling, and in 2003, Bill joined the staff at Community Bible Church in Highlands, NC, working with discipleship, marriages, and families. After two years, the Lord led him and his family to Westminster Presbyterian in Rock Hill, SC, where Bill was part of the preaching team and worked with shepherding ministries. He accepted the call of lead pastor at Hilton Head Presbyterian in 2012.
Bill and Lisa have been blessed with three sons: Will lives in Charlotte, NC with his wife Ashton and their sons, Liam and Hampton; Zach lives in Charleston, SC; and Matthew lives in Winston-Salem with his wife, Kate. Bill loves spending time with his family and enjoying all that Lowcountry life has to offer.
