Bill Dingle
Bill invited Jesus Christ to live in his heart and to be his Lord and Savior in 1974 after attending a Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) camp in Black Mountain, NC. Upon graduation from Lake City Community College and Forest Ranger School in 1978, he worked for twelve years as a forest ranger for Westvaco Corporation in their research department. In September of 1990, he answered God's call on his life and became the director of Icthus Ministries. Bill has served as a huddle leader for the FCA, Sunday school teacher, youth leader, elder, and was ordained as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in 1993. In September of 1994 he married the former Edith People of Phenix City, AL. They have been blessed with three (so far) beautiful girls, Emma (2001), Reah (2003), & Lydia (2005). His certifications include: Precept upon Precept Inductive Bible Study Leader, Wilderness First Responder,  Outdoor Emergency Care, and raft guide. He has been a member of the National Ski Patrol since 1994. Bill enjoys serving Jesus, being married to Edith, being a Daddy to his girls, paddling whitewater, skiing, biking, hiking, hunting, and fishing. His greatest claim to fame is that he personally knows and is known by THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!!!
Edith Dingle
Edith came to know the Lord early in her youth, and has been ministering to the Church in praise and worship for over 20 years. She received her Bachelor’s degree in piano performance and her Master’s degree in Music Theory. While at the University of Tulsa, she ministered to international students through the Baptist Student Union. At present Edith's every moment is spent caring for her three daughters, and they are her joy and occasionally a cause for exhaustion!  The oldest, Emma, is five years old,  Reah is three years old, and Lydia Eve is a year old.  The Lord has truly poured out His blessings and fruitfulness upon Edith.  Edith no longer teaches music, but she has been volunteering as an accompanist at Grace Christian Academy since 1999, playing for all of their special programs and chapel services.  Edith is still honored to minister beside Bill at Icthus, although her time there is now more limited.  Both Edith and Bill look forward to what God has in store for Icthus, and they enjoy all of the precious times their children get to share with brothers and sisters in Jesus who visit the mountains!
