A LOT has happened!


Dear Reader,

Believe it or not, I do have plans to write another book, which I look forward to, but that will have to wait until after I complete my current project, launching One Life Church. It has been nearly 2 months since I last sent an update, so I wanted to share some of the great things God has helped us to accomplish since then!

  • We have secured a place to meet for church services!
  • We have a worship leader and a Children's Director!
  • We have been approved by the SBC as a SEND church plant! (We are in process with CGN as well)
  • We have been gathering as a core for prayer and discipleship meetings, as you can see in the pic below
  • This means all major milestones have been hit except our launch team and funding goals (which we are working on)

Key Upcoming Dates:

  • 11/9 (this Sunday) we are having a Free Pizza Interest Party for locals to check out who we are (come if you can!)
  • Jan/Feb Preview Services (dates to be announced)
  • Launch Sunday 2/22/26! (we'd love to see you there)

How you can help:

Thank you for keeping up with me and what God is doing in and through my life. I am very grateful for you! If I can pray for you for anything, please reply with that and be assured, I will pray!

Blessings,

Bill

Dear Reader, First of all, thank you so much for coming along with me on the journey to the release of my first book, The Rest of the Man's Show, this year! I love hearing stories of how it is reaching people. I recently ran into a guy I know from the cowork space I work out of downtown. He told me he's not religious, but he loved the book so much that he bought copies for his family as gifts this month. He told me he's curious to see their reaction when they receive this gift from him, since...

Dear Reader, I know we are knee deep in the Christmas season, so I will keep this very brief. We continue to have significant momentum as we build and prepare to launch early next year. Here are three quick, important updates: Launch date - Our launch date has been moved one week from 2/22/26 to 3/1/26 to resolve scheduling issues. Launch budget - We are 1/3 of the way towards our $150,000 launch budget goal. We need to order a bulk of our gear very soon to ensure it is on hand and ready for...

Dear Reader, On Monday, I had a conversation with Chris, a core member of our launch team (how we connected is a God story in and of itself). Chris asked, “Was it like this last time?” He wondered if things went like this when we planted a church many years prior in Connecticut. The reason he asked is that we were both marveling at how many things God has been doing and providing to bring One Life Church from vision into reality. After all, Bayside Church had just donated a trailer to us to...
