Bill Petty was born and raised in Nashville. Drawing on a broad range of musical influences, Bill brings a lifetime of experience and deep passion for music, in complement to his energy and personality, to New Walk Church, providing a firm foundation for his desire to pursue God's plans for his life and ministry.

Bill attended Belmont College 1986-1990, during which he began dating his beautiful wife, Cinda. Together, Bill and Cinda have shared tremendous joy and blessings with their two precious children, Eve and William.

Bill's passion centers on much more than just music itself -- it is a passion for serving God and a desire to influence others through ministry founded in music and arts. God began moving on Bill's life in 1999, providing the opportunity to establish and hone Bill's skills as a minister and a musician while serving as Music Minister for WHGBC. In 2007, God revealed a New Thing (Isaiah 43:18) that led to his position as Worship Pastor at The Pointe Church.

Bill is currently the Youth Pastor and a worship leader at New Walk Church in Greenbrier, TN. Bil is also an award-winning vocalist and songwriter. His accomplishments include Male Vocalist of the Year for the 2008 CIA Music Awards, as well as a nomination for Christian Song of the Year in the 2009 Independent Music Awards. Songs from his first solo album project - Wonder - are heard world-wide on terrestrial and internet radio
