On May 6, 2007 Pastor Andrew Willis was installed as our new pastor in a special morning service. Interim Pastor Bill Brew charged the church to work alongside Pastor Willis and reminded us of how God defines success. Chairman of the Deacon Board, Jim Vance, answered the charge by Pastor Brew and committed to working alongside Pastor Willis to spread the gospel in this community. Member and missionary candidate to the Philippines, Tim Miskemen, brought the charge to Pastor Willis to faithfully serve the church and Pastor Willis shared his response.
    A luncheon was provided in the Fellowship Hall and we took the time to celebrate this new milestone in the life of our church. It is with great expectation we move forward to support our new pastor and we look forward to the challenges that God will lay before us.

The congregation welcomes Pastor Willis to Maplelawn.
