Bill Saeger
Deacon
Bill is a father to one daughter, Brea, who lives in West Virginia with her son, Conner. Bill has attended Wellspring since becoming a Christian. At that time he was baptized and became a member. He has since become a deacon of Wellspring. He retired several years ago, but that only lasted 2 months. He then went to work part time for another church, where his eyes were really opened to what it takes to run a large church. On the weekends, he does flea markets. He enjoys being outside and selling things one on one. This has led Bill to sharing his faith with people. He also enjoys repurposing things. He's blessed to have a family and a church family. Both of whom have helped him in more ways than they know.
