With decades of experience in starting and leading ministries, churches and networks, Bill now invests his life in men and women to want to reach people for Jesus in new, creative ways. After serving congregations in the Midwest and Texas, in 2009 Bill led the launch of FiveTwo, a network that helps men and women grow their God-given dreams into ministries and businesses that last.
In response to millennials being labeled noncommittal, lazy, entitled, slacktivists, Grant started Initiative Network with the goal to unite and train young leaders to be Christ-loving, city-changing, church-investing, disciple-making local missionaries. Initiative has united and accelerated some of the most diverse and dynamic next gen leaders across the country to collaboratively transform their cities together.
