Bill Osburn

Title: Counselor

A little about Bill...

Bill Osburn gave his life to the Lord in 1948. From that time until 1978 he served on church boards, taught adult Sunday school classes and served as greeter, usher or anywhere he could. He was also on active service in the US Air Force and retired as Chief Master Sargeant. He knew from early on that he wanted to help people and so his career as a counselor took off.

Over the years Bill has acquired many certifications and degrees. Not only does he see approx 25 church attendees per week to give free counseling sessions, but he also conducts four grief support groups per week, and is the volunteer coordinator for the Fremont-Rideout Hospice. Bill is an example of a servant because he gives of his most precious commodity - his time.
