Directors
Bill studied at Duke University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. After graduation, Bill was involved for eight years in pastoral ministry as a youth minister and church planter. After the heartbreak of a failed church plant, he took a position in 1992 teaching Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, TN. During that time, he also coached the boys track and cross country teams.
Bill found his quest for the next 20 years — connecting the Bible to the hearts of high school students. But toward the end of that time, he began to feel God’s urging him to pursue a new quest. This one would be connecting the Bible to the hearts of men. Despite his initial fear and objections, his community encouraged him to begin something new. In 2012, Bill left full-time teaching to begin Landmark Journey Ministries.
Richard studied Economics at Virginia Tech. After graduation, he worked at Bank of America before attending seminary where he received his Master of Divinity. He has served as an assistant pastor in two different contexts. He has labored as the lead pastor in one place for 20 years and led this particular body through several different stages of transition. For the last 15 years he has also been on a denominational committee coming alongside pastors in crisis.
Richard has been trained in conflict coaching and mediation through Peacemaker Ministries and is a certified conciliator with Ambassadors of Reconciliation and Relational Wisdom 360. He is also a certified spiritual director through Lipscomb University. He desires to assist others in connecting the gospel to their personal lives, living out of their identity in Christ, and discerning the Spirit’s work in their ongoing story.
