MEET YOUR FACILITATORS: BILL FARIS




William Faris, is the author of “Homegrown” and “How Healed Do You Want To Be?”. He has been a professional pastor, counselor and writer throughout his adult life. Currently, Bill is a part of the professional counseling staff of Marriage and Family Matters in Mission Viejo, California. In addition, he serves as the Director of the Vineyard Community Mission Network (VCMN), a network of house churches based in Orange County, CA that is affiliated with Vineyard USA. Bill and Robin, a gifted nurse, have been married for over 30 years and have four children.

Bill’s latest book, “Homegrown” is the true story of how a conventional local Vineyard church "went house church" in a bold quest to re-engage their mission, simplify their structure, and fully involve their members. Along the way, these believers begin to learn a whole new way of being the church at the neighborhood level. The result is an exciting new mission to "empower everyday people to take the ministry of Jesus to everyday places". Those who are looking for some surprising stories, some biblical thinking and some inspiring visions of how "microchurches" can impact their members and their surroundings will find Homegrown to be a worthwhile read
