An Online List for Members of the church of Christ Moderator:
Harold Bigham
The
listing of the following available gospel preachers doesn't necessarily
imply an endorsement by the moderator of this list. It is the ultimate
responsibility of the looking congregation to "try the spirits
whether they are of God" (I John 4:1). The purpose of this list is to
provide the leads for a congregation. Please e-mail updates that you know of (corrections and deletions) to bighamfamily@hotmail.com so that the list can be current! |

Since 2002 I have preached in Gilbert, Arizona; Gold Canyon, Arizona and Orangevale, California. Growth in the Arizona congregations was slight, while in California it was some better, but not what other congregations with which we have served have enjoyed.
We have recently moved to the Austin, Texas area, where we have family, while I seek a preaching position. We are currently attending and serving with the Westside Church of Christ in Round Rock, TX. I will be teaching the high school class on Wednesday evenings this next quarter. By the end of that time we hope to have a place to which to relocate where I can resume preaching and we can serve our Lord and Savior in a greater capacity. I also intend to make a missionary trip to India in late April and/or May.

William Dayton 726 Brentwood Dr. Ste. Genevieve MO. (H) 573-883-9412 (C) 573-535-0744 Dear Brethren, My name is William Dayton. I have been faithfully preaching the Gospel of our Lord for over 21 years. I have been married to my high school sweet heart, Martha, for over 39 years. We have 5 children, Three whom have been adopted, all whom are faithful. I am 59 years young and looking for a congregation to grow old(er) with. I am NOT looking to retire for a looooong time. I look forward to hearing from you real soon! Upon your request, I will send personal data of myself, my family and job experience for your consideration. You may contact me with the information provided to discuss a time for getting together for discussion and interview.
In Matters of Doctrine: The Bible is the inspired word of God, (II Timothy 3:16,17). If heaven is to be our home; we must preach, teach, and live by the will of the Father, (Matthew 7:21-23; Romans 1:16-18; II Timothy 4:2). The Bible clearly teaches that we are neither to stray to the right or to the left, but are to live our faith according to the inspired word of God.
In Matters Of Faith And Salvation: Gods plan for man has gone unchanged since the 1st Century and will be in force until the Lord returns. John.3:16; Romans 6
In Matters Of Worship: All things must be done in a decent and orderly fashion, (I Corinthians 14:40; Jn.4:23,24
In Matters Of Life: We are to be faithful, (Romans 8; Revelation 2:10); molding ourselves to be in the likeness of the Lord, (Philippians 2:5-16).
In Matters Of Preaching: I find my job description in 1Timothy; 2Timothy and Titus. Gods word must be preached in a way so an unbeliever will understand and accept our Lords message of salvation. This is my Goal every Lords Day. This also helps to remind the faithful of their obligation to the lost Matt.28:18-20; 2Peter.1:1-15. If you are seeking a minister who will preach the word, work with the congregation, as well as be involved in the community, I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration in looking over my information. May God richly bless and guide you in your search. Yours in Christ, William Dayton. ..Eph.3:20.

Volunteer experience | All of my preaching thus far, even at Braswell, has been on a volunteer basis. Braswell has never been large enough to support us, and I will not take money for my online ministry, much like Brother Mack Lyon does with "In Search of the Lords Way." With my disability, preaching is the only occupation left open to me. I am looking forward to stepping up from living on Social Security, to living on something I love anyway. |
Patents and publications | I am currently very early in a draft of a commentary on the entire Bible. As in the past, and as completed, this work will be used as a basis for Bible Classes. In 1989, I posted an article in the Jacksonville, FL newspaper under the religion section. In addition, as long as there is more than one family in attendance, I created, formatted, and published the bulletin at Braswell, "The Braswell Oracle." Materials presented online remain published, and have no copyright. I spent 300 hours reformatting a chart of church history for the web: http://www.geocities.com/preacherman_1962/ChurchHistory.html. |
Languages | Though not fluent, and out of practice, I speak college level Spanish due to a combination of my High School classes and an Aunt from Barcelona. In addition, I am capable of using both Strongs and Thayers lexicons for access to the Biblical languages in my lessons. |
