Bill Kennedy
Director
Bill became the director of CEF Lycoming County in 2000 after working for a number of years as a youth leader with middle and high school teens in church ministry. Bill's heart is not only making sure that children have an opportunity to trust Christ through hearing the gospel, but to raise up the next generation of children's workers through the mentoring of college and career age young adults. Working faithfully with Bill is his wife of 32 years, Mary Ann. Bill and Mary Ann have three children who have worked many years with CEF and two grandchildren to hopefully look forward to working with one day through CEF ministry.
