Bill Elliff (c. 1950 – N/A) was an American preacher and pastor whose ministry has focused on fostering spiritual revival and church renewal, primarily through his long tenure at The Summit Church in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Born around 1950, likely in Arkansas or a nearby Southern state, he grew up in a Christian family—his father a pastor—and came to faith early, later pursuing theological education, though specific details of his schooling remain unpublicized. He began preaching in the 1970s, eventually founding The Summit Church, where he has served as Senior Teaching Pastor for over 50 years, emphasizing both “new wine” (spiritual awakening) and “new wineskins” (methodological innovation) within the Southern Baptist tradition. Elliff’s preaching career extends beyond his local pulpit as a frequent conference speaker, writer, and church consultant, drawing from decades of experience to author twelve books, including Simply Prayer and The Presence Centered Church. He also serves as Pastor/Church Director for OneCry! A Nationwide Call for Spiritual Awakening, amplifying his passion for revival across denominations. Married to Holly since the early 1970s, with whom he has eight children—all married and serving in ministry—and over 25 grandchildren, he balances a robust family life with his calling. His sermons, available on thesummitchurch.org, reflect a deep commitment to biblical exposition and practical discipleship, influencing both local and national evangelical communities.
