Bill Boyce
Lead Minister
(309) 338-0428

Bill has been our Lead Minister since 2005. Originally from Athens, IL, he graduated from Lincoln Christian College and was ordained as a minister in 1988. Before coming here, he served as a youth minister for almost 16 years in Mason City, IL. It was there that he met his wife, Gwen, and they married in 1991. They have three children: Andy (born 1993), Katie (born 1995), and Kellie (born 2002).

One of Bill’s great passions is Camp Ministry. At Lake Springfield Christian Assembly, Bill turned his life over to Christ. Since 1994, he has been the Dean of Junior High 2 camp and has served on LSCA’s Executive Board since 1996.

Although he loves preaching and knows he is called to it, Bill has always had a heart for youth ministry. His unique claim to fame is that he once killed a scorpion in the shower during a high school mission trip to Mexico. Bill dreams of making two major pilgrimages in his life: one to the Holy Land and another to the original Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas.

Melody has been our part-time secretary since 2007. She has two adult children, Joshua and Jessica, who are both married and live nearby. Melody adjusted her work schedule in the church office to provide personal care for her mom at home. As a result, her office hours are weekday mornings.
