ABOUT ME
Bill Rhetts has enjoyed a colorful career path. Including but not limited to, he has served our communities as a journeyman meat cutter with Safeway Stores Inc., where he was promoted to manager.
He then became a policeman working a variety of assignments and positions. He also provided executive protection for celebrities and VIP clients, was a Professor of Criminal Justice and serves as a State licensed private investigator (Lic #23442).
After the Lord saved him (both physically & spiritually) during a gun battle at a Church, he began serving the Lord under the umbrella of his local church, hospital clergy, the chaplaincy, and various ministries.
His undergraduate studies were in Biblical Studies (with a concentration in Pastoral Ministries); and through his postgraduate studies at LBU, he earned his Master’s degree in Bible and Theology.
His most recent call was pastoring a Reformed Baptist church that embraced the five fundamental Doctrines of Grace. That practices a Regulative Principle of Worship, Covenant Theology, and a full-strict subscription to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. But he resigned from the Pastorate to move to Tennessee.
Politically he describes himself as being “to the right of today’s Republican party.” In 1999, liberals, the anti-police, and anti-Christs protested his employment as a policeman, calling him a “Far-right Christian extremist!” Though that was not helpful to his career, today he considers that accusation a “badge of honor.”
By God’s grace, he continues to enjoy theology, apologetics, polemics, expository Bible teaching, open-air preaching, ham radio, long-range precision shooting, and podcasting. He and his wife enjoy various outdoors activities, and the rural country life.
He describes himself as an “ordinary sinner saved by an Extraordinary Savior.” That apart from Christ, he is “nothing but excrement in God’s holy hand.” And, “The only thing good about me is the goodness of God and righteousness of Christ!”
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry” (1st Timothy 1:12).
