In 1986, Bill and his wife, Dorothy, began attending Covenant Presbyterian Church. Two decades later, when Dorothy passed away, Bill found comfort in his faith, knowing the Lord was still by his side. When New Hope was founded, Bill felt a calling to join. “My wife Cindy and I were married at New Hope in 2009 by Jim Mayer’s brother-in-law, Howard Biddulph,” he shares. Together, Bill and Cindy are blessed with a large family, comprising six adult children (three each), 18 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Bill has devotedly served in various roles at New Hope, including Deacon, Elder several terms, as part of the nominating committee, and teaching the Living Word Sunday school class alongside Jim LaRue. Throughout his life, Bill attributes his love for the church to his faith, stating, “I have failed Him many times, but He has never left nor forsaken me.”
