Bill Winn is a Christian, husband, father, son, brother, nephew, cousin, pastor, teacher, speaker, author, and friend.  He grew up just a few feet above sea level in Chocowinity, NC.  He has been blissfully married to Davina Locke Winn for 27 years.  Together they have two daughters in college, Faith and Abby.

Bill and Davina grew up in the former Worldwide Church of God under the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong.  In the mid-1990s, leadership within the denomination received a Holy Spirit revelation that led to radical changes in several core doctrines the church had historically held.  Many doctrinal changes were made during this period of transition away from Armstrongism toward more historical orthodoxy.  Most notably, the church officially adopted the doctrine of the triune nature of God.  So impressive was the Father, Son, and Spirit’s grace toward and redemption of the Worldwide Church of God that in 2009, the denomination changed its name to Grace Communion International.

In 2003, Bill and Davina quit their jobs and moved to Fayetteville, NC.  Bill then entered a two-year pastoral internship under Greg Williams (now president of Grace Communion International).  In 2005, Bill and Davina moved their family to pastor the GCI congregation in the Richmond, VA area, where they continue to serve.  After one year of pastoral ministry, Bill experienced a revelation of the radical grace of Jesus’ finished work. In 2007, he began being mentored by Dr. C. Baxter Kruger.

That’s when the party got really good!

The wonderful folks in the congregation were open and willing to take on the task of digging deep into the richness of the authentic gospel of Jesus.

Today, their local church is called Grace Communion Hanover, and they meet every Sunday in Mechanicsville, VA to worship and explore what it means to know the Father, Son, and Spirit as they are known by them.

Bill holds a Master of Pastoral Studies from Grace Communion Seminary and is currently a doctoral candidate at Global Grace Seminary.

Bill is the Lead Pastor at Grace Communion Hanover and the author of the fiction novel, Uncle Pink: Dirt-n-All. He loves hanging out with Davina and his girls, golfing, fishing, playing guitar, and teaching Trinitarian theology.
