This is a personal website that I began to experiment with digital ministry. I no longer maintain or update the site. You are welcome to contact me directly.

I'm V. Blaine Hill, and this website shares my work as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA), and a few of my interests outside of service in the church. You can find a recently updated CV or resume here. I have served as the Associate Pastor at Lake Murray Presbyterian Church in Chapin, SC since 2016.  I served as pastor of Cherokee Presbyterian Church in Lexington, South Carolina from 2005 to 2016, and the pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Waverly, New York from 2001 to 2005.  I graduated from Hampden-Sydney College ('94) and Columbia Theological Seminary ('01).  I worked with emotionally disturbed boys  in a wilderness program and as business phone equipment salesman before attending seminary.  Ordained in 2001, I am a more theologically conservative person in a more theologically liberal denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA).  My wife and I have been married since 1996, and we have four amazing children.  I continue to deny the persistent rumors that I paid for my education by spending the summers as a sword swallower in the circus.

Here is some of my work you can find on the website:

Podcasts: Currently, I publish the audio from my twice a week video devotionals for Lake Murray Presbyterian Church (available on YouTube and Facebook) as a podcast. I have used this podcast stream in the past to support a Sunday School class and to share my preaching. You may subscribe through itunes.

Devotionals get posted on the Facebook Live and Youtube of Lake Murray Presbyterian Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays of most weeks. Here are a few that have gotten the most interest.

Book Notes: Just one page to summarize reading a book. 12 point, New Times Roman, one inch margins.

Sermons A sample of some of my preaching.

A word about sources. If you hear or read something amazing here, please assume I got the idea from somewhere else.  I may include a link to the source or mention the writer.  I often do not know where my ideas come from.  If I do know the source, and I think it is awesome, I will share it.  Sometimes you will find a link only because I want to be able to trace where the idea originated.
