Dr. Bill Hardee
Pastor
bhardee@vbcmacon.org

Dr. Hardee is a Georgia native, having grown up in Jesup. He received his Master of Divinity and Doctorate of Philosophy degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. While working on his doctoral dissertation, he was Chairman of the Religion Department at Tift Baptist College in Forsyth, Georgia. His ministry has extended across several areas: as a chaplain for Hospice for two years, as headmaster for Cross Keys Academy—sponsored by Cross Keys Baptist Church in Macon—for one year, and as pastor of four churches before coming to Vineville.

He joined the staff of Vineville in July, 1998, when the church he was serving—Cross Keys Baptist Church—merged with Vineville Baptist. The members of Cross Keys provided additional support and strength to the Vineville location when slightly more than half of the Vineville members journeyed to Vineville North to start a great work in that location.
