Grandson of Billy Graham and oldest son of Franklin Graham, Will serves the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as assistant director of the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, NC. Since beginning his evangelistic ministry with youth-oriented, one-day events in Canada, Will has spoken to tens of thousands in North America, and countless more during outreaches in Australia, India and other parts of Asia. “I’m not trying to be the next Billy Graham; I’m just Will Graham,” says the ordained minister. “I have a burden in my heart to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If that’s to an arena full of people or one person on the street, I will do whatever God is calling me to do.” Will earned a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University and a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
In addition, Will has served as a member of the Montreat College Board of Trustees since 2007, and his participation continues a long association of the Graham family with the college; his grandmother Ruth Bell Graham graduated from Montreat High School in 1936, and she served on the Board of Trustees from 1972 to 1981 and was then named Trustee Emerita. His father Franklin Graham and his aunt Gigi Graham Foreman also attended Montreat College. His mother Jane Austin C. Graham served on the Montreat College Board from 1989 to 2003 and from 2004 to 2007.
