Pastoral Career
After ending his football career, Hutcherson conducted theological studies at Cascade Bible College in Bellevue, Washington in 1979. After finishing his studies, he served eight years as director of high school ministries at Westminster Chapel in Bellevue. In 1984, he started Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, Washington, along with Mark Webster and Dwight Englund. Hutcherson accepted the position of senior pastor in 1985 and was ordained in 1986.
He was once quoted on his church's website as saying, "The greatest need today in the church - which does not seem to be important in the average church - is the training of people in evangelism, discipleship and the responsibility they have for the church and responsibility they have for God."
Hutcherson is a frequent football guest caller on The Rush Limbaugh Show, and usually appears in around NFL playoff, and Super Bowl time. Rev. Hutcherson and Limbaugh are such close friends that he officiated Limbaugh's fourth wedding in June 2010 in Palm Beach, Florida.
