Pastor Bill Klear

Rev. Bill Klear accepted the call to full-time ministry over twenty years ago. He has served the Lord all over the world, including South and East Asia, Florida, Western North Carolina and the Internet. His most recent service was with Samaritan’s Purse working with Operation Christmas Child, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association with Internet Evangelism. Bill is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and enjoys studying Biblical languages. He has a Master of Divinity with International Church Planting from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. He treasures the Bible and strives to submit the structure and emphasis of his teaching to the structure and emphasis of the inerrant, sufficient, authoritative biblical text while highlighting missions and evangelism.
Bill met his wife, Teesa, in Raleigh while she attended NC State University and they now have four children, ages 7, 12, 15, and 16. They are passionate advocates for adoption, love hiking and the outdoors, enjoy reading together as a family and relish spending time with their church family.
