Bill White lives and pastors in the Wrigley neighborhood of Long Beach, California. His wife Katy, is a doctor working with the medically underserved (she does not describe herself as a pastor’s wife). They have two kids, one working in political communications and one pursuing her PhD in Art History.

Bill has worked for 35 years in the evangelical world as missionary, parachurch staff, and pastor. Bill attempts to have people over for dinner every night, but this depends largely on negotiations with Katy, who is not an extrovert. He plays board games on the other nights. Bill is an Enneagram 8 who has spent many years in therapy and spiritual direction and needs to spend many more. 

Bill is the executive director of Small Church Big Table, which coaches evangelicals on how to have conversations in their communities about LGBTQ questions without being divisive or destructive.
