Rev. William E. \u2018Pastor Bill\u2019 Kohler, pictured, has been called to serve as Interim Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Owego,<\/p><\/div>\n

The First Baptist Church of Owego (FBC-O) is pleased to announce that the Rev. William E. \u2018Pastor Bill\u2019 Kohler has been called to serve as Interim Pastor.<\/p>\n

Prior to retirement, Pastor Bill pastored the Windham Center Community Church, Windham Center, Pa. for 21 years. While at Windham Center, he led the congregation to develop a church constitution, to become incorporated, and oversaw major capital projects – one of which was a 30\u2019 x 50\u2019 Sunday school building with full amenities.<\/p>\n

Pastor Bill coordinates Tioga County Jail Services and has been ministering to inmates for the past 30 years. He has been actively involved at Youth Bible Camps and Vacation Bible Schools for over 50 years, ministering through the use of ventriloquist figures.<\/p>\n

Pastor Bill has been married to his wife and ministry partner, Dawn, affectionately called \u2018Aunt Dawn\u2019 by the members of previous congregations, for 56 years. They are the parents of three grown children.<\/p>\n

Currently, at the South Apalachin Baptist Church, Pastor Bill works with the youth ministry program and Junior Church while Aunt Dawn teaches the Ladies Sunday School Class.<\/p>\n

As part-time Interim Pastor, Pastor Bill is called to lead the FBC-O during an intentional period of transition and preparation for the calling of a permanent Pastor. Primary responsibilities of the Interim Pastor include regularly preaching on Sundays during the interim period, preparing the congregation and staff for the calling of a permanent Pastor, and serving as the congregation’s primary resource during the transition period.<\/p>\n

Pastor Bill\u2019s official start date for Interim Ministry at FBC-O is Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
