Bill Singer - Age 44

I was raised in a family that periodically went to church but was not Christian. I went to High School in Fridley and became a Christian in 11^th grade in a very small church as a result of a friend sharing on the football field.

 

I met my wife at that church and we married 8 months later at age 20.  We have been married 23+ years.

 

Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a business major from Hamlin University in 1987. School of Hard knocks, still enrolled.

 

I have been involved in some type of ministry almost since the beginning.   I have lead many Sunday school classes ranging from Junior high to adults on subjects such as finances, evangelism, or the Book of Acts.  At my previous church I was a member of the board for about 10 years, headed up the Building program as well as a fundraising/stewardship campaign.  I participated in the worship ministry in a variety of ways.

 

At Horizon’s I periodically run the sound board on Sunday mornings and I am part of the Crown Financial Ministry, which put on the two day Vital Signs seminar last month.  I am involved in a men’s small group on Monday night.  My ministry passions are Outreach, because it makes an eternal difference and Crown Finances because I am proof that financial organization makes for better marriages.

 

I like Horizons because we are willing to change as the culture changes.  I believe that we need to keep the message of the gospel true to the bible, but that we will have to adapt our methods as times change.
