George Billings
George has been at Red Lion since 1997 and currently serves on the church council, the mission committee, and he assists Pastor Jamie with hospital visitation.  He came to know Christ in 1974 as a freshman at Roanoke College when he heard the gospel at a Bill Glass evangelistic crusade; George thanks God for the work of the Holy Spirit during his high school years in preparing his heart to receive the Good News.  He and Debbie were married in 1985, and they have a son and daughter, both born in the early 90’s.  George earned an undergraduate degree in history before graduating from Reformed Episcopal Seminary with a Master of Divinity. He is a Senior Staff Chaplain at Christiana Care Health Services, and is based at Christiana Hospital.  He is ecclesiastically endorsed as a chaplain through the Presbyterian and Reformed Joint Commission on Chaplains and Military Personnel and is locally a member of Heritage Presbytery, Presbyterian Church in America.  George is excited about the vision of our Church to transform our region and impact the world for Christ.  He believes that through partnership with other evangelical churches we can more effectively advance the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and come closer to achieving what Jesus prayed when he said: “That they all may be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us.” Contact George
