Bill Britton Collection

This picture of Brother Bill was taken in New Zealand, in 1968, less than an hour after the small aircraft in which he traveled crashed on the beach near where he stands. Thankfully, both Brother Bill and his pilot were miraculously spared.

We are very humbled and thankful to acknowledge that as a part of this archive, there has been donated to us a body of literature including the writings, teachings, and preachments (as well as the personal collection of documents, books, historical data, and religious ephemera) of another dear “Father in the Faith,” who was promoted to a more excellent glory in 1984. We speak fondly of none other than William C. (Bill) Britton. (Brother Hoyer and Brother Britton shared an inspiring and special friendship, as yoke-fellows and comrades who labored as noble “Bereans” in the Scriptures.)

This body of archival literature shall be known as the “Bill Britton Collection.” It was most graciously donated to the stewardship of Calvary Baptist Church, by his beloved daughter, Rebecca Britton Volz, who grew up with a godly heritage, instilling in her a love for the Lord Jesus, and for His precious Word. Rebecca served the Lord from an early age, working and assisting in the office of: “Voice of the Overcomer Publications,” and “The Church in Action.” She has since 1998, served as director of the family-ministry, located at Springfield, Missouri.
