BILLY
RUTLEDGE
Billy's call to preach came at his choice to follow Jesus at age 17. His early years were filled with moral failure and frustration. He admits his failures came due to an inability to keep his eyes on Jesus and look beyond the blatant hypocrisy and lukewarmness of church leadership he encountered.
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 has an intense love for high school / middle school kids and continually works to ignite them to live uncompromised lives. Growing up as a military kid, he has a heart for military families which has resulted in 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 who both have surrendered their lives to Christ and been baptized in the waters surrounding Hatteras Island.
