Pastor: Bill White
I am excited to be the new Pastor for Cottage Grove EC Church. I have been a Pastor for over 17 years (12.5 with Wabash Friends Church in Wabash, Indiana and 4.5 years with Action Church in Akron) and I have a Master's of Divinity from Denver Seminary. I grew up in Kent, Ohio and I have a Bachelor's of Science from The University of Akron in Business Management. I played football at Kent Roosevelt and two years at Mount Union College before I transferred to Akron. My wife, Sheryl, and I were married in 1988, our son, Aaron, was born in 1990 and our daughter, Lydia was born in 1992. Sheryl is from Colorado and she teaches math at Stark State. I first heard the gospel from a football teammate at Mount Union and received Christ at 21 years of age. |
I have a passion to see people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and learn to apply the Bible to their lives and to pray daily for wisdom, relying on the Holy Spirit to guide and empower them. I believe making disciples is the mission of the church and I want to equip every believer to minister and make disciples.
If Cottage Grove EC is not yet your home church, I hope you will decide to visit and consider joining us in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40).
In Christ,
Pastor Bill White

It's hard to believe I've been at CGECC seven years in December - and what a Wonder-Full seven years it has been! I went to school to become an administrative assistant nearly 30 years ago & began my first office job in high school. I left "the office" and have held various jobs over the years. I'm married to Gary and my favorite "job" has always been wife & mom & now grandma. I was blessed to stay home, care for my family, and home educate our three children for 10 years. Now after 20 years, I'm back in "the office", blessed to be a blessing to whomever I can and work alongside our pastor, our leadership & this wonderful congregation to touch lives within & beyond our walls. |
