WEST LINN, Oregon– Willamette Christian Church has expanded its leadership team with a key hire, with Kevin Wehr stepping in to serve as their new Lead Pastor. Kevin joins Willamette Christian Church after previously serving as the Teaching and Campus Pastor of the Roanoke Campus of Compass Christian Church, which serves 1,000 weekly. Compass is a thriving multisite church congregation with a weekly attendance of over 6,000 people, with the main campus located in Colleyville, Texas.

“Willamette is a leading church for the pacific northwest in everything from worship, teaching and reaching out to their community,” Vanderbloemen Executive Search Consultant Eric Albert said. “The love that they had for their community was evident in their outreach on a daily basis. We are so excited for Kevin to help lead them into this next generation.”
