Billy first came to the Hatteras island as a history teacher in the local high school. That job eventually turned into a position as athletic administrator and in 2001, he resigned his position to become the fulltime pastor of Hatteras Island Christian Fellowship. The church stands strong and committed to the core purposes for which it was raised up, to advance the uncompromised Gospel of Jesus on the island, to be committed to ministry to the least at home and abroad through sacrificial giving and going, and to equip the saints for ministry. 

 

In the modern climate of seeker sensitive, watered down theologies and growth strategies, Billy stands with those who call the modern church to abandon the self-focused lifestyle and embrace the cross. The call of God through Billy's message is to repent and return to a state of hungering and thirsting after righteousness, rather than hungering for success and status in man's eyes at the expense of truth. Billy travels the world, particularly to Africa and Russia, to share the message of the joy of the cross in Jesus. Growing up as a military kid, he has a heart for military families, which has resulted in regular ministry opportunities with the local Coast Guard.

Billy has been married for over 30 years to his wife Erin. They have a son and daughter.
