Leadership

Pastor - Bill Wade

Pastor Wade received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, his M.Div. from Reformed Theological Seminary in (hometown) Orlando, FL, and his D.Min. from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. He previously pastored churches in Atlanta, GA, Montgomery, AL, and St. Louis, MO, and he served on staff with the college ministry CRU at the U. of Maryland and James Madison U. for 7 years. Bill is blessed by his wife Elyse and their four children: Hannah, Nathan, Daniel, and Katie.

You’ll probably find Bill holding a cup of coffee and enjoying his eclectic taste in music (from U2 to Switchfoot, Twenty One Pilots to the Gray Havens, Mutemath to Tchaikovsky). If he’s not enjoying a good conversation or reading a book, he’s probably out hiking somewhere with his family.

A. from Gardner-Webb University with choral emphasis and a concentration in piano, and received Gifted and Talented and AP Music Theory certification from Winthrop University.
