Name: Billy Murphy

Hometown: Lived in a few states (Ohio, New York), but East Tennessee is my home

Spouse: wife Julie; daughter Meghan, son Padraig

College: Currently attending Johnson University pursuing a degree in Ministry Leadership and Bible Theology. I previously attended Walters State and ETSU and obtained a degree in Agronomy/Turfgrass Management.

Favorite Bible Verse: There are so many that have helped me through life, but I will pick two. One that has helped me through life has been,

Micah 6:8:
“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

On that reminds me of what has been done for me, and what I am to do for others is,

1 John 3:16:
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.”

Weird fact about myself: Might seem weird to some is that I love to work and love to stay busy. Sometimes I overdo it, but most of the time enjoy having too much to do and not enough time to do it.

Other fact I would like to share: I feel extremely blessed and grateful to be part of the congregation at Central Community Christian Church. Christ has changed my life, and He used the members of Central to show me His love and to teach me an enjoyable and rewarding way to live.
