Billy, his wife Robbie and his stepson Matt joined the family of Berry Lane Baptist Church in September 2004.  In January of 2003, he was called as a lay-pastor for Cowboy Heritage Church in Clyde, Texas.  During his time there, Billy felt the call of God to do much more and in March of 2004, Billy surrendered to the call to preach and began supply preaching at various churches in the Abilene area.  In August of 2004, Billy accepted an invitation to preach at Berry Lane Baptist in Abilene Texas.  From that day on, Billy felt that Berry Lane Baptist was where God wanted him and his family to be and so they accepted an invitation to stay.  Billy is a bi-vocational pastor who has worked for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice since July of 1987.  Billy had been a Captain of Correctional Officers since May of 1999 but has recently resigned his duties there and is now a supervisor in the Law Library at the French M. Robertson Unit.  

Besides spending time with God, friends and family, He also enjoys reading, listening to music and being involved in Matt’s activities.  

Billy invites everyone who desires to find a church home with a family atmosphere, focusing on God and not how you’re dressed to visit Berry Lane Baptist Church where we always “Start with Prayer, End with Praise and Always Worship the Lord.”
