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).
