Enon Baptist Church, Morris, recognized Ken McWilliams for his 20 years on staff of the North Jefferson Baptist Association church Sept. 7.
A native of Russellville, McWilliams earned his bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of North Alabama in Florence.
He served as a music assistant at First Baptist Church, Russellville, and was called into ministry at Highland Baptist Church, Florence, while in college. He later served as the minister of music and students at First Baptist Church, Sheffield, and as minister of music and students at two other churches in the state.
McWilliams was hired as Enon Baptist’s interim music minister in April 1994 and became the full-time minister of music and youth in September of the same year. He served in that position until 2007 when he became the minister of music and administration.
He is the president-elect of the Alabama Singing Men, which he has been a part of since college.
On Sept. 7, McWilliams was presented with a commemorative plaque by the church and a love offering. The church displayed a photo slideshow filled with memories of his 20 years of service, McWilliams said.
“I would like to thank the church for a wonderful 20 years,” McWilliams said of Enon. “I pray that I could be just part of the blessing that the church has been to me (and my wife Gail) through the years.” (Neisha Fuson)
