Today our District Conference voted in Dr. Aron Willis as our new District Superintendent – replacing our retiring Dr. Harold Bardsley.

From an online biography of Dr. Willis:

Dr. Willis, a Hoosier by birth, was born and reared in a Christian home, living most of his younger years in southern Indiana. He was converted at the age of fifteen and received his call to the ministry shortly thereafter. He attended Frankfort Pilgrim Bible College in Frankfort, Indiana, where he received the BA degree with a major in Religion. In 1974 he received his Master’s of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. Aron received his Doctor of Ministry degree at Asbury Theological Seminary in May of 1992.

Aron has served Wesleyan churches in Washington, Indiana, and Allentown, Pennsylvania. In addition, he served eight years with the Churches of Christ in Christian Union as pastor of Faith Memorial Church, located in Lancaster, Ohio. From 1987-1988 Aron served as the Assistant General Secretary of Local Church Education for The Wesleyan Church. He served as senior pastor of First Wesleyan Church in High Point, NC, until July 2005.

Aron and his wife Sheryl have two married children and three grandchildren.
