Bill Hudson was born and raised a Southern Baptist in South Mississippi. In 1986, he had a spiritual awakening and began an intense search for truth. Two years following, Bill had a tremendous Born Again experience and, soon afterwards, received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and was water baptized. In 1990, he began to hold a Bible study in his home which grew to a church in Lumberton, MS. He pastored this church for six years.

After 32 years building and growing a family chain of extreme value retail stores in Southern Mississippi, Bill retired as CEO in 2009, having grown the business to 45 stores and over 1,000 employees. Thereafter, he moved to Southern Indiana where he entered into ministry full-time and began preaching and teaching God’s Word locally, nationally, and internationally. 

Recently, the LORD called Bill to be a part of a new start-up ministry here in Southern Indiana - Return Ministries. On March 29, 2015, Return Ministries held its first service in Clarksville, IN. Bill has three children - Crystal, Cy, and Levi - and two granddaughters - Sadie Rose and Sophia Ann.

“Studying the Word of God and sharing it with others, that is my passion.”
