The Unique Challenges of Planting in the South

Billy Shiver serves as the pastor of Connection Church in Vidalia, GA. He and his wife, Kate, have two children, Will (4) and Sara Kate (1). Billy graduated from Vidalia High School in 2006 and went on to graduate from Georgia Southern University in 2011 with a B.S. in Chemistry. While attending GSU, Billy worked with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and then, upon graduation, was hired as the Discipleship Pastor at Connection Church in Statesboro, GA. In January of 2015, God led Billy and Kate back to Billy’s hometown of Vidalia to start a Connection Church campus there. In three short years, Connection Church became one church in five locations across southeast Georgia: Statesboro, Vidalia, Millen, Dublin, and Savannah. In 2018, God led Connection to transition their model into a network of autonomous churches. In 2019, the Connection Network was launched, with the vision of planting 50 churches in the next 30 years. In 2021, the Connection Network planted their sixth church, in Athens, GA, and are looking forward to planting many more in the years to come.
