Community Church Leadership

Community Church is guided by elders, pastors, directional leaders and ministry leaders who provide overall direction and watch over the spiritual needs of the church. Our pastors provide sound, practical, biblical teaching at each worship service. They are equipped to share God's love within the church and in our local community. Community Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will.

Bill Williams

Senior Pastor & Elder

Pastor Bill married his amazing wife Lauri in 1979. They were blessed with four amazing children who are adults now. After many years in business management and advertising, God called him into full-time vocational ministry in 1997. He is a worshiper, intercessor, a student of God's Word, and a believer in the Big "C" church.

In 2000, with the blessing of Heritage Baptist Church, where he was the executive pastor, Bill was led to plant an elder-led church in Guthrie called First Capital Baptist Church. The first service was on Easter Sunday of that year, and the church grew to over 125+ people.

In 2003, Bill and the members of First Capital were asked to unite with the Community Baptist Church. In September of that year, the two become one forming the new ministry of Community Church.

In addition to his duties as Senior Pastor and as one of the elders at Community Church, Pastor Bill is involved in various leadership roles in our community. When he is not in town, he loves to camp, hike, bike, and ride motorcycles. Some of his favorite areas to recreate in include Oklahoma and surrounding states, along with South Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado, with multiple visits to Sturgis, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and across Colorado.

He can be reached at pastorbill@communitychurch.tv.
