The Holiness Collaborative was launched to provide a setting for individuals passionate about the transformative work of the Holy Spirit to gather for a time of encouragement, equipping, and resourcing. We gather, carrying in our hearts the contexts and lives we are blessed to minister to, seeking the Lord’s help to faithfully continue serving and seeing His transformation take root.
This year’s Holiness Collaborative will look at “The Language of Holiness”. Through small group discussions, teaching sessions, and other collaborative approaches we will look at the power of our words as we share the powerful message of Holiness with those we serve.
Bill Kierce is the President of The Francis Asbury Society, husband to Kim, father to three grown children, and grandfather to 8 grandkids. He is deeply convinced that we are incapable in our own strength to fulfill God’s call or to live a life that wholly pleases God. He recalls the experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit as “I was met that night with waves of God’s presence overwhelming me with the reality of His love and power. I have claimed that as my initial baptism with the Holy Spirit and entrance into entire sanctification.”
Josh Hallahan is the Director of Discipleship at The Francis Asbury Society, husband to Kelly, and father to Caleb, Seth, Elizabeth, and Rebekah.

Josh loves gathering like-minded individuals together to collaborate and encourage one another to continue serving Jesus faithfully.
