Pastor William Kovacic
William Kovacic founded Lifegate in August of 1999 and continues to serve as its pastor. He is a graduate of Centre Region Baptist College and is presently taking studies through Southern Indiana Baptist Seminary.
The main thrust of Pastor Kovacic's ministry is soul-winning and revival preaching. It is his desire to see an old-fashioned revival come to the town of Bellefonte and the glory of the Lord return. It is to this end that all the ministries of Lifegate are directed.
Pastor Kovacic was saved at the age of four and moved to Philadelphia in 1978 where he met his wife, Deborah. They were married October 18, 1980. The Kovacic's moved back to Pennsylvania's Centre Region in 1990 and continued training for the ministry under the eye of other local pastors. Bill and Deb have four grown children and four grandchildren.
