Bivocational Ministry and Lay Preachers - Sean Gilliam

Sean Gilliam serves as a lay preacher, Bible teacher and elder at White Fields Community Church in Longmont, Colorado, where he teaches Bible classes and occasionally fills the pulpit on Sunday mornings. In his career, Sean works full-time in real estate. 

Originally from the Chicago area, Sean studied at Eastern Illinois University and University of Illinois at Chicago, graduating with a Master of Social Work.  While working in this field for many years, Sean took some time off to go to South Africa to serve as a missionary to further pursue vocational/lay ministry.  While serving there, Sean earned a Layman’s Bible Certificate at Baptist Bible College of KwaZulu-Natal. Since returning to the United States and making his way to Colorado, Sean decided to become self-employed in real estate to give him the financial support and flexible schedule needed to dedicate more time to serve the Lord in His church.
