ROOTED IN LOVE & FOUNDED IN FAITH

BILL & LYNNE THEMELARAS Church was established by Bill & Lynne in the fall of 2014. With dedicated staff and passionate people like you, we desire to have a deep and lasting impact on the Georgia area. Here at BILL & LYNNE THEMELARAS, our message and mission is to help people know Jesus, stay curious and live out their faith.

Bill and Lynne Themelaras were high school sweethearts who married after college and soon began the adventure of full-time ministry. Now, twenty-nine years later, they split their time as Senior Leaders over two amazing congregations in Columbus, OH & Pittsburgh, PA.

Bill serves the greater church as a prophetic apostle while Lynne thrives in teaching and equipping people.

Bill has a passion for worship, preaching, and ministering to people. He enjoys movies, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ohio State Buckeyes, and great food.

Lynne has a Master's Degree in Psychology and oversees inner healing ministries as well as speaking at Women’s Conferences and events. She enjoys health and fitness, reading, and Starbucks.

Bill also serves as the President of Reconciliation! Ministries International, a network of five-fold ministries participating in the revival, renewal, restoration, and reformation of the church. The network is founded and chaired by Bishop Joseph Garlington, Sr. 

Together they minister to the Body of Christ across the globe carrying a message of transformation and helping people to embrace their God-created identity.

FOR US, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT JESUS

WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS:

1. WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD

Without the resurrection there is no faith, Christianity, or any hope for the future. He rose from the dead, appeared to eyewitnesses, and is still at work today through the Holy Spirit. His resurrection isn’t just about our future, but the importance of our present life.  “On earth as it is in Heaven” isn’t simply a habitual prayer, but becomes a legitimate reality.

2. SAVED US BY GRACE

We are not saved by our good deeds, nor do we have the ability to earn our way into Heaven. We are saved by the gracious act of Jesus being sent to die on a cross, resurrecting from the dead, and establishing His power and victory over sin.

3. IS GOD

He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, worked miracles and gave us an example to follow. He is fully God and fully man and now sits at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us.

4. TOLD US TO LOVE

Love isn’t simply an emotion, it’s an action first. All of us want to belong, feel accepted, and significant. If we truly understand the love and grace of Jesus, we will love ALL people and show them that there is no greater acceptance, sense of belonging, and significance than through the love of Jesus.

5. TOLD US TO GO

Faith in Jesus isn’t just a personal, private emotion or feeling. It is a transforming life change that should force us to share that faith with others. If the message of Jesus is true then our lives should outwardly show it to everyone who crosses our path throughout Richmond and beyond. We aren’t here to idly sit by and complain about what is wrong with our city or this world, then hope that someone else will fix it. We are told to GO! Jesus can and will do great things through YOU and our community at Hill City!
