Born in 1962, Bill was raised on a farm near Sipesville, PA by Christian parents.  When his father died while Bill was in seventh grade, the family continued to run the dairy farm which afforded Bill much opportunity to take on responsibility at a young age.   He attended Somerset Area Schools and received his spiritual training at St. John's UMC in Edie, PA.   After High School, Bill became part owner of the family farm and married his only sweetheart in life, Beth Klink. They have four children, Shanda, Jordan, Ryan and Preston. At 29 years of age, Bill became certain of his call to ministry. Bill had a preaching charge which included Harnedsville, Listonburgh and Silbaugh while he worked on his Bachelor's. He graduated from the University of Pitt-Johnstown in 1995 and then attended Asbury Theological Seminary where he graduated in 1998 and returned to PA to begin full time ministry at the HOME Charge.  This charge included three wonderful country churches near the Flight 93 crash site.  The people there helped to confirm Bill's call with a very rewarding ministry where the Lord added generously to their churches..   In July 2003, Bill was transferred to Titusville First United Methodist Church.  He is excited to see what God will continue to do during the many years we spend together.
