Meet our Pastor

Pastor William R. Grimbol, or Pastor Bill as he is known to his parishioners,  graduated from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, with degrees in political science and literature.  He graduated from Princeton University Theological Seminary in 1975. 

He served as minister of Shelter Island Presbyterian Church for 25 years and associate pastor at Bayshore Lutheran Church for eight years.  In 2011, Pastor Bill returned to Holy Communion Lutheran Church, the church where he was confirmed, ordained, and once served as the intern youth pastor.    Pastor Bill believes it was grace which guided him home to HCLC. 

Pastor Bill is the author of a number of publications, including “The Complete Idiot’s Guide To The Life Of Christ” and “Jesus In Your Backpack: A Teen’s Guide To Spiritual Wisdom”.
