Bill Tenny-Brittian

William "Bill" Tenny-Brittian is a Senior Consultant with Easum, Bandy, and Associates as well as the Senior Editor of Net Results magazine. He specializes in church transformation amidst cultural change from a spiritual development paradigm. He is ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and has served as a transformational pastor in three denominations (United Methodist, Presbyterian Church USA, and Disciples of Christ). He is also a church planter who has been a member of church planting teams in two denominations (Southern Baptist and Disciples of Christ).

• Bill is a noted consultant with churches interested in launching, developing, or revitalizing their small group and home fellowship programs in their congregation. His experience and research in the House Church Movement in North America makes him one of the premier consultants in this field.
• As a coach, Bill works with church planting teams, transformational and emerging church leadership. Drawing from research, training, and his own varied experiences, he encourages, motivates, and draws out the best with those he walks alongside.
• As a speaker, Bill is sought after for a wide variety of presentations. Recently he has been called on to speak on the emerging church in North America; how to launch, develop, and revitalize small group programs; how to develop, enhance, and encourage worship in home fellowship groups; and how to develop personal prayer and spirituality habits that transform lives. He has also been invited to speak on his personal favorite topic: reaching and evangelizing the unchurched (de-churched, barely-churched, and never-churched) through relational evangelism.

Bill’s personal mission is to be a source for spiritual transformation in the North American harvest field: to evangelize, recruit, enlist, equip and support others to become effective disciples of Jesus Christ and faithful leaders in their local contexts (in short, “To be a faithful disciple of Jesus who makes more disciples of Jesus”).

He is the author of four recent books: House Church Manual, Prayer for People Who Can’t Sit Still, High-Voltage Spirituality, and Under the Radar (co-written with Bill Easum). He holds a BTh from Florida Baptist College, an MDiv from Candler School of Theology, Emory University, and a DMin in church planting movements from NW Graduate School (Bakke Graduate University). He is married to the Rev. Dr. Kris Tenny-Brittian and has recently relocated to Columbia, Missouri.
