After nine years of military service and 5 years of biblical studies Pastor Nichols and his family returned to his roots in Missouri to begin ministry in 1985. Bill and Becky moved to Bolivar and began his ministry with First Christian Church in June of 2013. He was inspired to become a minister at the age of 13 but did not pursue that call until the age of 27. Bill is a down to earth pragmatist when it comes to preaching.

His goal is to give his listeners something that will help them in their everyday walk of faith. He enjoys teaching the Bible and gets tremendous satisfaction when people have those “aha” moments as the light of the Scripture suddenly clicks on. In his spare time Bill enjoys hunting, fishing and traveling.

Pastor Nichols is a graduate of San Diego Christian College and Hope University of Fullerton California.
