Billy Levengood, Pastor
Billy was born in Fort Lauderdale, FL. When he was young, he and his family moved to Tennessee. Billy has a Master’s Degree in Biblical Counseling. That’s a fancy way of saying, “How to be a godly friend”. In 2010, Billy was called to plant Encounter Life Church. Billy, his wife, Jodi, and their 6 kids are excited to be serving at Encounter Life.
