Rev. Bill Mugford has served as a Senior and Associate Pastor in multi-denominational settings in the United States and Canada, radio and television speaker/host, adjunct college educator, liaison to government, journal author and substantive editor of the Encyclopedia of Christian Worship, and founder of the Philip Aziz Centre for Hospice and Palliative Care, Toronto, Canada. In occasional roles as church consultant and seminar speaker, Bill has broadened his experience and served the larger church.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Bill met Rose - his Italian-born sweetheart, spouse and ministry partner of 33 years - in Toronto, Canada. They have two married children and Fenway, a gregarious Maine Coon kitten who lives to play tag, hide-and-seek and snag flying objects off the wall like an outfielder.

Bill loves music of all kinds and plays competitive sports; is a railroad steam-engine aficionado and train collector; and hunts and collects fossils as an amateur paleontologist.

Over and above all, Bill's life has been and is dedicated to presenting Jesus Christ, the Hope of the World.
