Senior Pastor:  BILL RUSSELL

     Pastor Bill grew up in a small town in the state of Ohio (and is a rabid Buckeye fan.)  He grew up as a PK.  His father was a missionary who went on to spend almost 20 years as a bi-vocational pastor.  Pastor Bill attended the Berean School of Bible and Theology in PA and Grace Bible College in Grand Rapids, MI.  During the 1980’s, while In Grand Rapids, Bill served as a Youth Pastor at two different churches and started a region wide youth ministry in the Western Michigan area, sponsoring various youth rallies and Christian roller skating nights.

He moved to Beloit, WI in 1993 as a Youth Pastor for Grace Bible Church and eventually accepted the call to be their Senior Pastor.  God placed a burning passion on Bill's heart for church planting though and reaching the unchurched and in 1997 he left the ministry he was involved in and became involved in church planting in the Beloit, WI area.

     In 2004 God called Bill and his family back to Western Michigan to serve as the Senior pastor of Robinson Grace Church.

     Today Bill's two greatest passions are one, making the Word of God practical and relevant to life and second, creating an atmosphere and opportunity for individuals to experience meaningful worship.  

     Bill has been married to his wife Tricia for 16 years, and they have two children; Melissa 14 and Shad 12.
