Area Ministry Children/Youth Discipleship Pastorate Rural Ministry

Kenny & Amy serve in the Southern Oregon field. While residing in Grants Pass, their main ministry hub is Williams Community Bible Church (WCBC), where Kenny serves as Pastor and Amy as the Head Deaconess. The ministry objectives of Williams Community Bible Church are to exalt Jesus Christ, educate in the Word, equip and encourage believers, and evangelize the lost. These objectives are met by creating an environment where Jesus is exalted, and His life of humble service is modeled; where the Bible is preached and taught; where young and old believers are discipled to learn and obey the Scriptures and to grow and serve in the ministry. Ultimately, these objectives are met in the fulfillment of our purpose, which is to exalt the true and living God of the Bible through regular worship services, Bible preaching & teaching ministry, congregational prayer, personal witness, appropriate youth and adult organizations, and the establishment and support of various ministry outreaches statewide, locally and around the world.

WCBC Beginnings

In the 1930s, D.D. Randall, area missionary of The American Sunday School Union (now InFaith), began a Sunday School which met at the Williams School. By the mid-’40’s he urged the growing group of believing dairymen, farmers, and loggers to establish their own Bible-believing, non-denominational church. They bought .8 acres behind Varner’s store at 228 E. Fork Rd., where Williams Community Bible Church has existed since 1949

Kenny & Amy joined InFaith in February, 2016.

Kenny came to know the Lord in October of 1995 at a homeless shelter in Flint, Michigan. Kenny & Amy married on May 2, 2009, and share the love of each other and their three kiddos. While serving alongside Kenny at Williams Community Bible Church, Amy is also a dedicated and passionate homeschool mom with a strong desire to see all young people grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God.

Kenny has been involved in ministry to children, youth, and families for more than twenty-five years and is a graduate of Multnomah University, where he attained two bachelor's degrees (Bible & Theology and Educational Ministry-Family Ministry Concentration).
